Photo by Dave ShewmakerImagine thisA sunny day, no clouds in the sky
No chance of rain
You lie on the ground
Back nuzzled into the grass
Looking up at the sky
Basking the warmth of the sun’s raysNow picture thisThe warmth disappears
Yet the sun still remains in the sky
Not a cloud in its way
Nothing between you and it
You see it but you do not feel it
The warmth was just there
But within moments
A 2004 study seemed to show that vitamin D in the form of cod liver oil had only a mild effect on reducing upper respiratory tract infections in young children. This result was surprising, considering that it has been known since at least 1926 that vitamin D can significantly reduce respiratory infection, colds, and flu.
In fact, vitamin D plays a pivotal role in the immune system. The explanatio
Since I was mesmerized with most of Dr. Mercola’s online articles, I was even inspired to make a reaction towards this cancer-related video. This is one of the health issues that really capture my attention as a health-conscious person. As we all know, the most famous Vitamin D provider is the sun. Huge help to those people who are having deficiency in Vitamin D comes from the freshness that
Vi faccio vedere il nuovo video dei Death Cab for Cutie per il brano "No Sunlight", contenuto nel loro ultimo album "Narrow Stairs" (uscito a maggio di quest'anno). Sicuramente una delle migliori canzoni del disco — un bel disco, da ascoltare, accolto favorevolmente dalla critica —. Pur parlando della morte dell'idealismo e dell'ottimismo con l'avanzare dell'età di una persona, "No Sunlight"
An infertility study has revealed vitamin D deficiency among men who are unable to impregnate their partners. The discovery surprised the researchers, who were investigating the incidence of DNA fragmentation of sperm.
Fertility specialist Dr. Anne Clark screened the blood of almost 800 men with fertility problems, and found that almost a third had lower than normal levels of vitamin D.

A company called SolFocus (which was spun out of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 2006) has started installation of a 3-megawatt solar power plant in southern Spain. SolFocus makes solar cells that use much less silicon than regular panels because they use lenses and mirrors to concentrate sunlight. The solar concentrators magnify sunlight 500 times, which according to the company, is the “swe

There are a number of readily available foods with vitamin d that will count towards our body's minimum recommended daily amount of 10mcg. However, the only foods that are naturally rich in vitamin d are fish and in particular, oily and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines and herring. Vitamin d is contained to a lesser extent in such things as eggs, liver and margarine as well as a

The main determinant of irregular pigmentation and eyelid wrinkle is the "Photoaging" due to cumulative effect of ultraviolet light exposure in direct sunlight. The too much UV exposure to the direct sunlight after blepharoplasty can also thicken eyelid skin to leathery texture and may result structural stretching. This may increase the risk of developing skin cancer.

Yesterday Mu and I met for breakfast. We tried to not overstay our welcome at the restaurant, and after an hour or so, we took our conversation out into the parking lot. We stood there, talking, letting the sun warm us from the tips of our heads to our toes."Now I know why the Druids- was it the Druids?- worshipped the sun. I mean, isn't this sunlight incredible after a long winter?" she said.I teased her about going pagan on me but I could laugh about this because my friend Mu is very sincere about digging into God's truth, asking good questions, searching for wisdom.We were feeling light-hearted and happy yesterday. She celebrated the resolution our family had come to: our son, Alex, was going off to the college of his choice, far away, down south- and right where he should be. It all ca

So when its like 1-3pm its kinda hot in here inside our apartment.
Dietary sources of vitamin D are not ideal; it is much better to get vitamin D from natural sunlight exposure. Dietary supplementation of vitamin D may actually be related to the increase in allergies and asthma.Vitamin D3 supplementation has been linked to asthma, which regulates many "allergy" genes and also regulate an antimicrobial response within the immune system. Oral vitamin D supplementation early in life may lead to fewer infections -- but this in turn results in a less-prepared immune system and more allergies.But while too much vitamin D in the diet can increase the incidence of allergic diseases, too little vitamin D can make allergic diseases worse. However, it is impossible to overdose on vitamin D from sunlight exposure, because the process destroys any excess vitamin D. Ho

My Health - Skin pigmentation disorders is a kind of harmless skin disease but its presence causes facial skin of someone looks unwell, besides affecting the individual appearance.Skin pigmentation in community understanding falls into two types which are:Skin discoloration (flat black spot in skin layer or seeds like small growth on the skin), pigmentation problems are like melasma, freckles or solar lentigines.Skin blemishes or growth are like seborrhoeic keratoses (black spot that arise like mole, sprouted in clusters or colonies), actinic keratoses and skin tag (excess skin in brown or black color) usually grew on the neck, face and gap armpit.Although skin pigmentation is pertained as a skin disease, it does not raise any harm except if the methods of treatment and material used are
I saw something on TV recently that caught my eye. It said that scientists have calculated that the U.S. on average receives 10^25 units of sunlight energy per year. We only consume 10^20 units per year of energy from various sources.This means that if we could perfect solar technology, we'd be set for years and years!Although I did wonder, are trees and plants taken into account? I mean, if we harnessed all the energy we needed, would there be enough leftover to maintain the ecosystem? I think there would, given that if we did our job perfectly, and harnessed exactly 10^20 units, there's still be 99.999% of the total energy left, right?
I Found great article on acne.org about how Sunlight and hot water can help your acne scars:"Okay. So you have to ask yourself, how do scars form in the first place?When there is a trauma to the skin, the body (amazing as it is) fills in the area with fibrous tissue, namely collagen. Collagen is the matrix and scaffold to which most of our skin is made out of. However, the "dumping" of collagen in the area causes divest in the skin and temporary scar tissue to form.So now ask yourself how does C02 lasers work? Well, the IR frequency sends an oscillating electric dipole toward your face and the electrons in your proteins (collagen) oscillate up and down and cause other electrons to vibrate stimulating vibration and thermal motion in your face, it feels like a burning sensation, which it is.
Sun exposure dries out your existing acne ,but it does not stop new ones from forming.Sun may actually worsen the acne.Some acne medication such as tetracycline and retinoids can cause your skin to become super-sensitive to sun,leading to sunburns.Use a sunscreen with SPF15 or higher to protect your skin
Researchers have found that lung cancer rates are highest in countries furthest from the equator, where sunlight exposure is at its lowest. The researchers examined data from 111 countries.
It is thought that vitamin D, which is generated sun exposure, can halt tumor growth.
Lung cancer kills more than one million people every year around the globe. Smoking accounts for up to 85 percent of all cases of lung cancer.
Using newly available worldwide data, researchers have shown a clear association between deficiency in exposure to sunlight and endometrial cancer.
The UV-B radiation in sunlight triggers photosynthesis of vitamin D3 in the body. Previous studies have shown associations between higher levels of vitamin D3 and lower risk of cancers of the breast, colon, kidney and ovary.
The new study used a new tool called GLOBOCAN, a database of cancer incidence, mortality and prevalence for 175 countries. Endometrial cancer incidence was higher at higher latitudes, even after controlling for known variables such as cloud cover and weight.This is the third environmental paper from this research team to show a strong association between vitamin D and cancer using GLOBOCAN. The first paper showed a similar pattern for kidney cancer, and the second showed such a pattern for ovarian cancer.Sources:Science Daily November 16, 2007
Marcelo Chimirri, photo: Revistazo.comUpdate on article: Chimirri resigns, Hondutel raidedMarcelo Chimirri's future is looking brighter. The head of the state-owned telephone company disappeared after his home and office were raided by government officials last Friday morning. Calling in to a Honduran radio show that same day, he expressed his outrage and indicated that he would resign from his government position. Chimirri also stated to the media that if he had been at home, he would have used gunfire against the authorities to defend his family.He most recently has been accused of abuse of authority and telephonic espionage. The wiretapping charges relate to 12 taped telephone conversations between President Mel Zelaya, other high level functionaries of the Honduran government, and Chimirri, which have since been posted on YouTube by user JuanaPueblo.Prior accusations have included involvement with grey traffic, unwarranted raids of businesses and illegal confiscation of their equi
This morning I was up extra early due to the 8am graduation ceremony for the Citizens Leadership Academy.
One of the great things about my Mid Mod, post and beam construction home is how the light changes with the seasons. This morning was the first day that the sun rose far enough to the south to make it thru the patio cover and brass sliding glass doors and into the living room.
Last night, however, as I was leaving the house at 5:15, the kitchen was almost totally in the dark already. I want Daylight Savings Time to last all year! What a waste to have the sun up at 6 am, and for it to get dark so early.
That’s really the only thing I hate about Las Vegas. Being in the east edge of the West time zone makes for some really dark early evenings during the winter.
