VPOD: Walking in Sunshine and a Vintage 1970s Christian Dior Set

We all love the feeling of walking ON sunshine but it turns out that walking IN sunshine is really what matters.

According to a study on sunshine and health presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2012, there is a link between sunlight exposure and stroke.

That’s right.

A University of Alabama study looked at 16,000 adults over five years and used software developed by NASA to calculate each participant’s monthly sun exposure, taking into account things like cloud cover and smog at each participant’s latitude and longitude.

The conclusion?

After taking all other stroke risk factors into account, the people living in locations with less than average sun exposure had a 60% higher risk of stroke!

Now I’m not campaigning for everyone to pack their bags and head out here to the Golden State with me.

But a conversation with your doctor about your Vitamin D levels on your next visit might be a good idea. After all, Vitamin D levels are affected by your exposure to sunlight, are often low in adults and have been associated in various studies to heart and blood vessel health.

And for this important dialogue about the importance of walking IN sunshine, you may want to dress AS walking sunshine in this vintage 1970s set by Christian Dior Pret-a-Porter.

The two separate pieces will serve double duty all summer long as you pair the bright top with shorts and the flouncy skirt with tees or dazzle’em by wearing the set together.

It’s a sunny fashion find for a Vintage Crusader!

Available at Bustown Modern.
