Manuel Mirassou Ortega, ’n dokter in interne geneeskunde en lid van die Mexikaanse Vereniging vir Been- en Mineraalmetabolisme, het verduidelik: “Tien minute se blootstelling aan die son elke dag help om die ontwikkeling van osteoporose te voorkom omdat dit ’n persoon van ongeveer 600 eenhede vitamien D voorsien.”

Some experts warn that if you starve yourself to shed pounds, your body may shift into “crisis mode,” slow down your metabolism, and quickly cause you to regain any weight you’ve lost!

“WE STILL don’t know enough about the metabolism of the [tuberculosis bacterium],” says Barry Bloom of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
