When you expose your body to sun rays regularly, you can prevent appearing such illnesses as breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, heart illness, multiple sclerosis and other deadly illnesses.
Moderate ultraviolet light exposure is healthy; sun avoidance can lead to the lack of vitamin D. The time of exposure for different people varies. It depends on many factors such as heredity, skin type and a base tan. It is easier to forbid people to expose their skin to sunlight than to provide them with information how to use sun rays in a proper way and minimize the ability of getting sunburned.
The purpose of a sunscreen is to avoid getting sunburned and to lessen the negative effects of UV exposure. It is not recommended to apply a sunscreen on your skin every day all the year round, no matter what the climate is, because it can damage skin. It should be remembered that many of women’s cosmetics products contain a sunscreen.
Sunscreen applied on the skin makes skin almost unable to produce any vitamin D. The body’s natural way to produce Vitamin D is sun exposure to the skin. 90 percent of the vitamin D is produced in our body due to sun exposure; dietary supplements can be only additional. Fair skin produces vitamin D from sunlight much better that dark one. Vitamin D is not available in enough quantities in a human body. Vitamin D received from food and dietary supplements is not the same as Vitamin D that appears as a result of natural sun exposure to the skin.
People, who live in northern climates and use sunscreen all the year round, prevent their body to produce vitamin D. It was discovered that 90 percent of the North American residents observe a lack of vitamin D.
People need five to 10 times more vitamin D than they actually receive. Nowadays almost all women’s cosmetics include sunscreen that blocks UV exposure. It should be remembered that its overuse prevents skin from the production of vitamin D and leads to osteoporosis.
Nowadays 8 million of the 25 million Americans suffer from the illness, that’s why an increase in vitamin D production is strongly recommended. Osteoporosis causes hip and bone fractures every year. Such fractures, when occurred among elderly people, can be deadly. }
It should be remembered that vitamin D reduces the risk of colon, breast and ovarian cancers by up to 50 percent.
Vitamin D is obligatory for the proper production of calcium. It was observed that people, who live in sunny climates, are less prone to various forms of cancer. Besides, Vitamin D makes the process of tumor and cancer cells’ growth slower and even retards it. People used to think that the production of the active vitamin D is performed only due to the kidneys.
