Why Preventive Care Is Finally Getting the Attention It Deserves

Preventive care is getting more attention from doctors, insurers, and patients than it has in years, after decades of a system built mostly around treating problems once they already exist.

How to Balance Vitamin D and Sun Safety

Many people turn to sunlight as a source of vitamin D, particularly at this time of year, but dermatologists do not recommend relying on the sun as your primary source. UV exposure can stimulate vitamin D production, which is important for supporting bone, muscle and immune health, but on the flip side, it is also associated with skin ageing, DNA damage and an increased risk of skin cancer.
