Sunlight produces several chemical reactions when it is exposed to your skin. Most importantly, UVB produces vitamin D. It is required for optimum cell and tissue development throughout your body. It's like a difference in owning a car and having oil in an engine, compared to a car that has no oil-- both will function, but not as well. There are several other chemical reactions that occur causing other vitamin by products that aren't fully understood, making UV light exposure to human skin and all living things much more complex than what is understood today.
Here are some of the known benefits of vitamin D:
- Prevents Cardiovascular Disease
- Prevents Diabetes
- Improves Bone Fragility
- Prevents Autoimmune Diseases, Infections, and Cancer
- Prevents Depression, Anxiety and Psychosis
For further information, check out Dr. Michael Holick's website here. Also, listen to his answer here to see why vitamin D is best when your skin absorbs UV light than through supplements.
So, soak up the sun on your roof top or head over to Palm Beach Tan to get your first month of tanning for FREE!
