A Body Cleanse to Solve the Vitamin D Dilemma

A Body Cleanse to Solve the Vitamin D Dilemma

Your body needs vitamin D for optimum calcium absorption, for bone growth and health, for proper neuromuscular and immune function, and to ward off various vitamin-deficiency-related illnesses like rickets. The catch, though, is that vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin naturally occurring in very few foods. So you have to make an effort to get fortified foods or take supplements-or go outside because your body can produce its own vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. But getting too much sunlight can invite skin cancer, so you use a sunscreen. But some of these, especially the ones containing insect repellent, can introduce harmful toxins into your body. And there's the dilemma. A quality body cleanse program, however, may hold the answer.

Dr. Michael Maris-cosmetic dermatologist, recipient of the Best Doctor in America Award from 1998 to 2009, and winner of D Magazine's Best Doctor in Dallas and Best Dermatologist-has weighed in on this issue. According to Maris this vitamin consists of a molecule "manufactured by the skin with sun exposure, and therein lies all the possible problem... Vitamin D is very important to a lot of body functions." But, Maris cautions, "the longer you stay in the sun to get more vitamin D, the more you tan, the more you damage your skin, and the harder it is to get more vitamin D." So that means a sunscreen is called for.

Here again there are often unrecognized dangers. A Canadian studied showed that applying sunscreen first and then a layer of insect repellent on top of that increases your body's absorption of the possibly toxic chemicals in the repellent and the sunscreen by 10%. Applying repellent first and sunscreen second increases permeation of your skin by the chemicals 47%. And mixing them together before application-as is the case with some sunscreens that also contain insect repellent-increases absorption 632%. And the danger is even greater for children. Maris warns that "there might be a toxic effect on children when they use a sunscreen and repellent combination."

But if you still want to get your body's needed vitamin D from sunshine and don't want to damage your skin, you must use a quality sunscreen. The dangers of not using it are just too great. Maris again: "UVA is a much more penetrating ray" that "damages your skin in a way that creates problems with DNA.... It ages collagen and elastin fiber so that your skin gets wrinkled and old looking and sags as time goes by." The solution is to go ahead and get your vitamin D, protect your skin with sunscreen, and add in a quality body cleanse to counteract the potential toxic effects.

Designed to flush the toxins from your body, restore energy, replace lost nutrients, and balance hormones, The 21 Day Body Makeover is a whole body cleanse that contains the key nutrients other body cleansers lack. This means that The 21 Day Body Makeover has everything needed to complete the detox process while at the same time protecting your body from the harmful effects that other products can have.
