Sunlight is the most abundant source of Vitamin D. Vitamin D has been known to boost the immune system, strengthen the bones, improve the skin, weight loss, the list is endless.
Exposure to the sun’s UV rays can also give pain relief both physically and emotionally because it also has an antidepressant effect.
In some countries, the sun is not abundant all year round especially in winter months but we cannot risk getting high cholesterol levels or chances of heart disease so it is best to regularly use tanning beds.
Given that it gives all the good benefits we get from sun exposure, it is a must that we visit Darque Tan or Island Sun Tanning to stay pretty and healthy and get all the following benefits we can get from Vitamin D and serotonin which we usually get only when exposed to sunlight:
Pain Relief
Indoor Tanning can give relief to pain caused by rheumatism, arthritis as well as muscular pain. People who are suffering from fibromyalgia had been reported to have benefitted from a short term pain relief after their exposure to UV Light
Healthier Skin
Aside from being an effective cure for moderate to severe acne vulgaris, phototherapy can help treat various forms of skin disorders, like psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and vitiligo. Patients have exhibited a significant decrease in signs and symptoms when UV Light penetrates their skin because it combats the cells causing the skin disorders. There have been studies since the 1950s which have proven this.
Added Sunscreen
Base tans improves the function of the skin as a natural barrier, making it more resistant to the sun’s rays.
Exposing the skin to the UVA and UVB light of tanning machines can help it develop a base tan which can prevent it from getting sunburned.
Ideal Levels of Vitamin D
The rise of cholesterol levels during winter which can lead to a lot of health problems with heart disease as the most serious is associated with the lack of UVB light. There are more cases of people living in higher latitudes, like in northern Europe, dying of heart disease in winter than in summer.
The increased risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases is due to the Vitamin D deficiency caused by not getting enough sunlight.
Getting abundant levels of Vitamin D can lower the risks of cancers, heart disease, autoimmune and infectious diseases.
While Vitamin D can also be sourced from oily fishes like salmon and tuna, dairy products, chicken and eggs, the easiest way to get Vitamin D is from sunlight.
Sunbeds are also a good source for the Sunshine Vitamin. They are a reliable method that will give the skin virtually the same results as sunlight.
These tanning beds enable sun exposure to almost the entire skin so this amplifies the body’s ability to produce Vitamin D
Healthier Bones
Vitamin D also plays an important role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels. These two elements are essential for supporting healthy bones.
Even if bones naturally breakdown, Vitamin D and other minerals help the bones recover.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to softening of the bones or osteomalacia and osteoporosis. This is because without the sunshine vitamin, bones can become fragile or misshapen.
The UV light from tanning devices, is really needed to get enormous amounts of Vitamin D
Immune Booster
Vitamin D can boost the immune system as effectively as the more popular Vitamin C. This is why people ask those who are feeling under the weather to get some sunlight. Vitamin D helps prevent common flu and several types of autoimmune diseases. This is because of vitamin D’s regulating properties which control the immunological functions affected by inflammation.It encourages the production of white blood cells, which helps boost the immune system.
Anti Depressant
People experience seasonal affective disorder and depression during winter because the cold and cloudy weather blocks the sun’s rays from reaching the skin.
Sunlight can give everyone improved energy and elevated mood because the light boosts serotonin levels, the hormone responsible for the happy feeling.
The months of winter can never be avoided but regular UV exposure from tanning beds can reduce depressive symptoms and mood disorders.
Weight Loss
Sunlight does not only help people feel happier but they can also help in managing adequate weight.
The Vitamin D we get from exposure surprisingly also has an appetite-suppressing effect.
People who bask on the sun’s rays or get their Vitamin D boost from a tanning machine will tend to eat less.
To sum up, sunlight may not really be available all year round in some corners of the Earth but no one needs to worry even if the sun is not available to help us become happier, beautiful and healthier, we can always rely on tanning beds to manage the risks we are getting when we don’t get enough sun.
