As we enjoy the veritable British "Spring heatwave" (12 degrees here on the Sarf coast!), and await "flaming" June, loyal readers will recall that a couple of weeks ago I wrote that Nanny may be changing her mind about the damage that claimed the sun does to us:
Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz is quoted by the BBC:
"..some wise owls from my old university, Edinburgh, who have conducted some research that suggests that sunlight helps reduce blood pressure, cutting heart attack and stroke risks and even prolonging life."Well, it seems it's not just the wise owls from Edinburgh who have shown that sunshine is in fact good for us; there are also wise owls at King's College London, who have identified that the vitamin D created by exposure to sunlight may help those with asthma.
Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz is quoted by the BBC:
Ironically, she is of the view that the culture (promulgated by Nanny and manufacturers of sun creams) of covering up in the sun and using sun cream may have increased asthma rates."We know people with high levels of vitamin D are better able to control their asthma - that connection is quite striking.We think that treating people with vitamin D could make steroid-resistant patients respond to steroids or let those who can control their asthma take less steroids."
What's the betting that Nanny tries to rubbish these findings?
