The secret, like everything, is moderation! God designed us to live and work outdoors, so I am not at all surprised to see that there are so many health benefits to sunlight.

There is no secret recipe of eating right, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, vitamin d, broccoli, etc. Everyday I read some article on "curbing" or "reducing" the risk of breast cancer. I was diagnosed at age 35. I have always been a milk-drinking athlete who has maintained a healthy weight and life-style. I had no cancer on either side of my family, yet still had to have a bilateral mastectomy at the age of 35. I wish there was some snake oil I could have taken so that I wouldn't have ever gotten breast cancer. There is no miracle cure for breast cancer.
