The Benefits of Sunlight
Despite what we have been led to believe about sunlight, the
right amount of responsible sun bathing can make you happier and
healthier. Considering the sun as a friend by using it
responsibly can be very beneficial as long as we avoid the
damaging effects of chronic exposure.
Make sure you understand the risks of skin cancer verses your
sunlight needs. Of course we should not get burned or look
directly into the sun, but a small amount of daily sunshine on
our skin and in our eyes (indirectly) is essential for good
health.
New research suggests that sunshine may reduce the risk of many
forms of cancer such as prostrate, breast, colon and ovarian
cancer. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is our main
source of Vitamin D. The major biological function of vitamin D
is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus.
And as we know calcium is essential for good bone health.
Researchers have found that Vitamin D from sunlight also plays a
role in increasing the amount of oxygen your blood can transport
around the body, which in turn, will boost your energy levels,
sharpen your mental faculties and give you an improved feeling
of well-being.
Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis have
also been shown to improve during safe sunbathing.
The fear of skin cancer is one of the main reasons given for
staying out of the sun. During our research we have found that
the imbalance
of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids as well as the
lack of essential nutrients such as anti oxidants from a
balanced diet, may also play a role in the development of skin
cancer.
The research is beginning to bear out the need for safe sun
exposure. By limiting sun exposure, changing our diet ratio of
Omega 6 to Omega 3 to a diet similar to that of our ancestors,
(one more closely reflecting a diet ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 Omega 6
to Omega 3 fatty acids) and making other dietary improvements we
may start to see a decrease in the incidence of skin cancer.
The best source of Vitamin D is of course UV-B from sunlight or
from natural food sources like Cod Liver Oil. Those who can not
for whatever reason obtain a healthy amount of sun exposure can
satisfy the bodies vitamin D requirements by taking a daily dose
equivalent to 1000 IU's of vitamin D from Cod Liver Oil.
Remember, Vitamin D in milk and in most vitamins is synthetic
and is not nearly as good as getting this important nutrient
from the sun.
So why not reap the benefits of sunlight and begin your journey
to True Healthy Living!
