It’s Not All Bad
When you think of the sun, your first thought may be the damage it can do. And too much can cause all kinds of serious health problems. But small amounts, especially early in the day before the weather improves, can go a long way.
How Much Is Enough
This answer is different for everyone. This depends on your skin tone, age, medical history, diet, and where you live. Overall, researchers estimate that 5 to 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes for darker skin, is enough to make the most of your time without causing health problems. You can stay out longer and get the same effect if you use sunscreen. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.
Vitamin D
The sun’s UV rays help the body produce this nutrient important for bones, blood cells, and the immune system. It also helps you absorb and utilize certain minerals like calcium and phosphorus. And while most people get enough vitamin D from food, children who don’t have rickets can get it, which makes their bones softer and weaker.
Vitamin D and Disease
Being outside tooling can increase the risk of developing skin cancer, but the risk of developing certain diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases, may be higher in people living in northern climates. Researchers think this could be linked to lower vitamin D levels.
Better Sleep
Your eyes need light to regulate your body’s internal clock. This may be more important as you age because your eyes are less able to take in light, and you’re more likely to have problems going to sleep.
Weight Loss
You need 20 to 30 minutes between 8 a.m. and noon to make up the difference, but the sooner you understand it, the better it seems to work. Scientists believe that the sun’s rays can shrink fat cells under the skin’s surface. More unlikely means more exercise, which is good for you in a number of ways, including weight loss.
Sunlight as Treatment
In addition to some skin problems, filtered sunlight can also be used to treat a condition called jaundice, which primarily affects newborns. This happens when there is too much chemical bilirubin in the blood and your baby’s skin appears slightly yellow. Can exposing the child outside the window to the sun (to filter harmful rays) help eliminate bilirubin? Never expose your newborn to direct sunlight outdoors.
Ok, the mogul nutritionist Pradhan, CEO and founder of I Thrive, said that sunlight acts as a modulator of all of our physiological functions.
