That people need vitamin D for calcium to be absorbed by the body to strengthen teeth and bones and other tissue to maintain a healthy skeleton throughout life. Two sources of vitamin D are diet and sunlight. In healthy human bodies, 80% of vitamin D is developed through exposure to natural light. A vitamin D deficiency could result in the brittle-bone disease osteoporosis, which affects mostly women. Skylights and milk - a winning combination!

That "Sick House" symptoms develop because the house literally can't breathe. As a result, it gets congested with internal pollutants or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Common sources of pollutants (VOCs) in the home are adhesives, upholstery, carpets, furnace exhausts, fireplaces, pressed wood cabinets & cupboards. VELUX venting skylights allow your house to breath!
Often described as that pleasant, "new smell," VOCs can be harmful. Short-term exposure to VOCs can cause headaches, nausea and irritate eyes, throat and nose. New houses are insulated and sealed so well that no fresh air enters in. Moisture builds up but can't escape and that makes a perfect breeding ground for mold.
