Recent studies are showing there are several health benefits to tanning, giving a totally new outlook on the effects of tanning. In fact many doctors are no longer warning people to stay out of the sun. So what exactly did these studies find out?
Well they reconfirmed that tanning is a great way to get your essential levels of vitamin D. You need UV exposure for the body to synthesize vitamin D. And vitamin D is directly linked to preventing and treating many diseases. Here’s just a brief list of those it is known to help:
Breast, Prostate, and Colon Cancer
Depression – non seasonal and seasonal
Fybromyalgia
High Blood Pressure
Osteroporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of arthritis
PMS
Skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne
Both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
The winds they are a changing. Now many doctors are saying that moderate exposure to UV light is good for your health because it is the only way the body can manufacture vitamin D.
The amount of vitamin D your body manufacturers depends on the color of your skin. Skin rich in melanin absorbs UV radiation diminishing the production of vitamin D. In other words the darker your skin, the longer the exposure needed
Dr Michale Holick a professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, recently stated that brief exposure to sunshine or its equivalent several times a week in tanning beds, can ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes deadly diseases, including osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, depression, cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, uterus, kidney and prostate. As well as multiple myeloma and non Hodgkins’s lymphoma.
The FDA regulates the indoor tanning industry. These regulations are strictly enforced and require each device to bear detailed consumer information to avoid overexposures. These labels list the risks associated with using a tanning bed as well as the recommended exposure levels.
So get the best of both worlds. Reap the health benefits that tanning can provide, and stay safe by not exceeding the recommended guidelines. You can have that beautiful tan all year round if you follow the rules!
