Vit 'D' Omani Summer Days

It seems that the summer season has stopped knocking at our doorsteps and has finally announced its full fledged arrival in the region. Today's temperature hitting 30 degrees felt more like 45 if not more!! (its hot!) Can you imagine what May-June-July would bring? and Ramadan being amidst all that?!?

Well, with all this in mind Omani's have actually been advised to get a dose of Vit D into their system. We seem to be lacking in the cancer fighting vitamin- for obvious reasons, thus need to boost up especially during the hot summer months. You would naturally want to avoid the sun but getting a little brown would surely outweighs the need to get your cancer fighting cells in check.

''The importance of vitamin D lies in its ability to absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are nutrients that play important role in protecting human bones and the strength of muscles, besides helping in fighting diseases such as colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, Type I diabetes, and the common flu."

Get exposed to direct sun! Naaaah....actually the best time is in the early hours of morning, where your likely to get the maximum exposure to Vit D . Instead of getting burnt you would need to forgo on some snooze time for some fresh dose of Vit D via our rising sun (that alot to digest).
