Is sunlight good for you

Answer 1

The sunlight gives you Vitamin D (good). But it is also bad because you can get skin cancer (bad).

Also it makes your body look hotter, but it is really bad because you can look older than you really are for example you could be 52 years old but look like a 64 year old so take 15 - 20 mins a day out in the sun BE CAREFUL!

Avoiding sunlight reduces risk of skin cancer

Obtaining vitamin D from sunlight improves health

These are the good things:

Sunlight lowers blood pressure.

Sunlight strengthens the immune system.

Sunlight increases the good cholesterol and lowers the bad.

Sunlight normalises blood sugar, it increases low blood sugar and lowers high blood sugar.

Sunlight is essential for your body to produce vitamin D.

Get 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight or just natural light on your face without screening daily. Sunglasses and contact lenses block most of the needed rays.

Sunlight helps detoxify the liver.

Sunlight increases muscle tone and endurance.

Sunlight speeds up healing.

Sunlight kills germs.

Also these are some of the bad things:

• Too much sunlight will dry out skin.

• Too much sunlight will cause premature ageing of skin.

• Did you know that most often the damage done to the skin by the sun is done before the age of eighteen. (parents not remembering to protect their children's skin, the teen splattering themselves with tan oils and sitting in the sun for hour at a time etc.)

• Too bright rays causing damage to eyes especially when doubled up by reflection of water or sand.
