Sunlight not only helps to brighten up the day but also brings many health benefits that few people know.
Mr. Glen Jeffery, Professor of Neurology at the University of College London (UK), emphasized that regular exposure to sunlight, especially when the sun is low in the sky, can contribute to longevity and improve overall health.
According to Mr. Glen Jeffery, many dermatologists, including Richard Weller from the University of Edinburgh, are reviewing data on the effects of sunlight on the body.
Weller says people who are exposed to sunlight have lower mortality rates. The only important thing is to avoid sunburn, Jeffery stressed.
Scientist Andrew Huberman ( University of Stanford, USA) also shared that sunlight helps improve eye and skin health, balance hormones and support recovery from illness.
Sunlight also promotes the production of vitamin D, an important nutrient that the body only produces through exposure to sunlight.
Vitamin D supports the skeleton system, immunity and many other body functions. However, too much exposure to sunlight can lead to sunburn, skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Scientist Huberman recommends using protective measures such as long-sleeved shirts or sunscreens containing zinc oxide to avoid UV rays while still benefiting from sunlight.
The benefits of sunlight do not stop at vitamin D. It also helps balance hormones, enhance mood and improve sleep by regulating circadian rhythms.
In addition, reasonable exposure to sunlight also helps the nervous system and metabolism work more effectively.
Taking advantage of sunlight scientifically and safely brings many health benefits and can prolong life.
Avoid sunburn and spend time in the morning or late afternoon sunlight, while applying skin protection to maximize the benefits of the sun.
