2. Effects of Sunlight on Skin
Benefits of Sunlight on Skin
Moderate sun exposure promotes vitamin D synthesis in the skin, which supports skin cell growth, repair, and metabolism. It may also help alleviate conditions like psoriasis and acne.
Sunlight and Aging
While sunlight stimulates collagen production for skin elasticity, protection from UV rays is essential to prevent premature aging and skin damage.
Sunlight and Skin Cancer
Balancing sun exposure with protective measures like sunscreen helps reduce the risk of skin cancer while enjoying the benefits of sunlight.
3. Sunlight and Vitamin D Production
Mechanism of Vitamin D Synthesis
UVB rays from sunlight convert cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D3, which is then processed in the liver and kidneys to its active form, supporting overall health.
Importance of Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is linked to various health issues, including weakened immune function, increased risk of chronic diseases, and mood disorders.
