If you can, you’re pre-skin cancer warnings now appear regularly on our TV and billboards.

Slip, slop, slap is the message we’re being given.

But with Vitamin D deficiency more common, many people are also wondering if the sun protection message is affecting their health in other ways.

The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation is both the major cause of skin cancer and the best source of Vitamin D according to the Cancer Council Australia.

“We need to balance the risk of skin cancer from too much sun exposure with maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels,” it says.

“Sensible sun protection does not put people at risk of Vitamin D deficiency.”

Why we need Vitamin D and how we get it

Vitamin D keeps bones and muscles strong as well as keeping our immune system robust.

Low blood levels of the vitamin have been associated in increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in older adults, severe asthma in children and cancer.

Research suggests that Vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions including Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Vitamin D forms in the skin when it is exposed to UV from sunlight.

It can also be obtained from some foods such as fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy and grain products.

Who’s most at risk from vitamin D deficiency

Naturally dark-skinned people, people who cover their skin for religious or cultural reasons, the elderly and people who are housebound or in institutional care, babies and infants of Vitamin D deficient mothers, people with osteoporosis and those who suffer from milk allergies or adhere to a strict vegetarian diet may all be short on Vitamin D.

Certain medical problems, including Crohn’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and Celiac Disease can also affect your ability to absorb Vitamin D from the food you eat.

GET THE FACTS

Measuring Vitamin D. The most accurate way to measure how much Vitamin D is in your body is the 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D blood test.

How much sun is enough?

A study by St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney; the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, and the University of NSW suggests that exposure of 5 to 15 minutes of sunlight four to six times a week, outside of the hours of 10am – 2pm, is the best way to boost vitamin D.

The real situation here is not the fact that women are suddenly getting older with wrinkles on their faces and body parts starting to sag; it is the fact that the world’s mindset has changed so dramatically and quickly in just a few short years. Women are less confident and far more insecure then they have been in past years. Women who are older are more vulnerable, because they can’t be as smooth skinned as the girls who are nearly twenty years younger than them.

The real way to project beauty and sex appeal as a woman who is growing older is to feel confident and happy with yourself as a person. Be healthy, eat good food, and exercise a little bit every day. This will make you feel great and look amazing. Even a young woman who is quite beautiful might feel that they are not pretty enough. This is because of the way beauty is viewed by the population as a whole. You have to be young, thin, perfect, to be thought of as beautiful, but the truth is, even the pictures of those young, thin, seemingly perfect models are photo-shopped mercilessly to be put into those magazines.

Remember, being beautiful as you grow older has to do with the way you feel inside, if you are healthy and happy, you will glow with it. No matter how many wrinkles you may have, people will see that you are an incredibly happy woman who is satisfied with her life.

If you want to age and grow older without an expressionless face or looking like a plastic doll, you can do it the natural way instead. Here below are some great and simple tips to follow on how to look, feel and be younger in no time (no surgeries or painful procedures required.)

1.  Sweat it out 4 – 5 times a week

Exercise has been proven by many scientific studies to delay the effects of premature aging.

Just to emphasize how powerful exercise is in delaying aging, according to British health experts who studied 1,000 pairs of twins, they found that the DNA of the physically active ones were 10 years younger in structure and appearance compared to the ones who are not active.

2.  Sleep better

Haven’t you noticed that people who are constantly sleep-deprived have ugly bags under the eyes and look generally older than they really are? Lack of quality shut-eye has devastating effects in the long-term for your health and beauty.

Make sure you get the required eight hours of sleep every night, and if that’s not possible, catch up on your sleep with some catnaps throughout the day to help your body and cells recover.

3.  Follow a healthy diet

You’re probably thinking, “tell me something I don’t know”, but what most people do not realize is the huge impact of your diet on how it can make you feel and look young.

A diet rich in anti-oxidants, and vitamins like berries, green, leafy and bright orange vegetables and fruits has rejuvenating benefits on your skin and how you feel overall.

Another thing: Proper hydration with water (not sodas or commercial juices rich in sugars) is proven to make your skin more elastic and supple. And according to dermatologists, a well-moisturised, hydrated skin helps fight off nasty wrinkles better.

4.  Restore collagen

Collagen is the substance in our skin that makes it appear taut and supple. As we grow older, our body’s ability to produce collagen unfortunately flounders, and skin starts to lose its elasticity. It is advantageous to use quality collagen stimulating skincare before too many lines appear. Most moisturisers do not penetrate into collagen producing layers. Collagen applied on top of the skin acts as as a moisturizer only. Special ingredients are required to help stimulate collagen production and plump up the skin.

In the end, it is really up to the woman whether she wants to go the natural route or use what medical science has to offer.  Whichever, one still has to ensure that the skin is fed with quality skincare.
