(27-04-07) Sunshine Improves Athletic Performance

New research from vitamin D guru Dr. John Cannell provides an interesting and previously unappreciated benefit from exposing your skin to the optimal amount of sunshine: Improving your peak athletic performance.
Dr. Cannell's investigation began when several patients asked him why they felt better, faster and stronger after receiving the right amount of vitamin D, and knowing it was a steroid hormone (substances made from cholesterol that circulate in the body and work at distant sites by setting in motion genetic protein transcription).
Every body builder knows that steroid hormones can improve athletic performance and increase muscle mass, and activated vitamin D is as potent a steroid hormone as exists in the human body -- although a much safer one than many, since your body actually requires it.
It took more than a year for Dr. Cannell to locate convincing evidence from five independent bodies of research (largely from German and Russian medical texts) before concluding that maintaining the right amount of vitamin D does improve your athletic performance depending, of course, on how good an athlete you are and how vitamin D-deficient your body is at the time.
