The sun is good for health

#health
Sunbathing, whether you go to the beach, go outside or spend a weekend hiking, is something accessible to people of all kinds and conditions. That is one of the reasons why we must take certain precautions when doing so.

I'll tell you some of the advantages of sunbathing:

— Improves the condition of your skin. Even if you think that the sun is the enemy of your skin, the truth is that it is the opposite. Leaving aside the possibility (real and very serious) of producing skin cancer. If we take it too much, the reality is that a little sunshine can help cure conditions like psoriasis, acne and eczema.

— Improves the immune system. The sun encourages the production of white blood cells, which help increase our defenses and fight infections.

— Reduces appetite. The sun's rays improve our serotonin levels. The neurotransmitter that regulates our mood. So when you go to the beach for a while or take a walk on a sunny morning, not only do you feel happy, but you will surely be less hungry. This is because higher levels of this substance suppress appetite, so you will eat less in a warmer climate.

— Reduces the risk of cancer. Except skin cancer, which is clearly linked to the amount and intensity of sun that our body receives. Vitamin D provided by sunlight can help significantly reduce the risk of other cancers.

People exposed to high levels of sunlight are significantly less likely to die from breast, colon, bladder, uterus, esophagus, and stomach cancer.

— Reduces heart disease. You are more likely to die from heart disease in winter than in summer. And it is believed that this is due to low levels of vitamin D. Cholesterol levels also rise in winter and this is because our vitamin D levels fall. And exposing people with high blood pressure to UVB rays in a tanning salon lowers blood pressure by amounts similar to a medication for it.

— Reduces states of sadness. Many people are affected by states of sadness or seasonal affective disorders. These phenomena are specifically caused by the lack of sunlight. Walk for an hour in the morning during the autumn and winter months and 15 minutes a day in summer. You will avoid sadness.

— Relieves pain. Being in the sun helps warm up the body's muscles, relieves stiffness, and reduces pain caused by inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

— Helps prevent multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, which causes tremors and even paralysis. The cause is not known. Scientists have observed that exposure to sunlight in childhood seems to dramatically reduce the risk of developing this disease in the future. Scientists have also pointed out that the incidence of MS is lower in the sunniest countries.

— Prevents diabetes. Vitamin D may help prevent the onset of type I diabetes in children when they become teenagers. Vitamin D deficiency is also thought to contribute to type II diabetes.
