Pop This Supplement for Your Skin

-
You slather on sunscreen, limit sun time, and keep an eye on those moles. But here's one more thing you could do to prevent skin cancer: pop a calcium and vitamin D supplement.
In a large 7-year study of women who'd previously had skin cancer, those who took a calcium and vitamin D supplement every day experienced 57 percent fewer melanomas compared with the women who didn't take the supplement.

How D Controls Cells
More research is needed to confirm the results of this early study. And researchers are not yet sure whether a calcium and vitamin D supplement could play a role in helping prevent melanoma in people who've never had the disease. But plenty of other research has shown that vitamin D -- which helps control how quickly cells replicate -- has the potential to keep the growth of many different types of cancer cells in check, including colon, breast, and prostate cancer cells. And if you've had another form of skin cancer, you're at higher risk of developing melanoma -- the deadliest kind -- later in life. So popping a supplement -- in addition to living a sun-smart lifestyle -- may be an easy extra thing to do.  

Getting What You Need
Regardless of the recent skin cancer research, our bodies need calcium and vitamin D for multiple other reasons -- including bone and heart health. And most people don't get enough of it. So a daily supplement is a great way to stay on track. And here are two more ways to get a little extra calcium and vitamin D into your day:
  1. Break it up. Your body can absorb only so much calcium at once, so divide the  recommended dose (1,000–1,500 milligrams a day) into two or three doses.
  2. Lose weight. A recent study found that women who lost 15 percent of their body weight could triple the vitamin D levels in their body.

Next time you get a sore throat and sniffles, here's what you need to do to avoid can't-get-out-of-bed misery later: stay home. Research shows that people who report to work sick are much more likely to get laid out flat by an even nastier bout of illness down the road. Sick at Work People who came to work sick at least six times within the previous year were 50 percent more likely to need extended sick leave later on -- as much as two or more weeks off within the next 18 months. Why is punching the clock when you're sick so bad? Researchers speculate that when people don't take time to rest and recuperate, the body gets more and more run down -- to the point where it can't keep a little illness from ballooning into big trouble.    Healthy Solution Okay, so sometimes you might feel like you really just don't have time to be sick.
