How to Get a Tan Without the Risk of Skin Cancer

If you follow certain rules during exposure, the sun proves benefits for the body: activates circulation, stimulates the production of pigments and vitamin D (essential for calcium absorption), regulates biorhythm, increases body resistance to diseases and greatly improves mental status.

There is a specific diet, advised to ensure protection from the sun: beta carotene, papaya and blueberries can accelerate the production of melanin, within certain limits, but are not sufficient to ensure the integrity of the skin.

Fighting With Osteoporosis

Lysine – a new approach to osteoporosis

Experts have recently recommended all individuals with osteoporosis to combine calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and lysine in they treatment to achieve the best therapeutic effect. This recommendation is based on the latest findings that the intake of amino acid lysine increases calcium absorption and reduces its loss through the urine. Specifically, lysine stimulates the cells that build bone tissue and collagen. Several clinical studies justify a new approach for preventing and treating osteoporosis, and that certainly includes lysine. The recommended daily dose of lysine intake is 1000 mg.

In addition to these benefits, all the people who use lysine will have additional beneficial effects on health, for example in cases of angina pectoris and diseases of coronary blood vessels. It is also known that lysine prevents the reproduction of herpes virus and its intake can protect against these, often boring, viruses. Very important fact is that better results in treatment will be achieved if the lysine intake is combined with vitamin C.
