How Does Sun Exposure Impact Your Health?
Whether it’s rising, setting, or unleashing scorching heat on a bright & hot day, sun is an integral part of our lives. It is a powerhouse of energy and light! How it impacts your health is interesting to learn.
Benefits:
Sunlight helps your skin make vitamin D, which supports bone, muscle, nerve and immune health.
It may also lift mood. Moderate exposure is associated with improved mood and healthier daily body rhythms.
Risks:
Too much sun is harmful. Repeated or intense exposure can cause sunburn, premature skin aging, eye injury, and a higher risk of skin cancers, including melanoma.
The goal is balance. Enjoy sunlight in a way that avoids burning, and protect your skin with shade, clothing, and sunscreen when exposure is longer or stronger.
