Is sunshine is really good for the body?or bad?

Air, water, and sunlight are what most creatures on Earth need. Since ancient times, mankind has worshiped the sun as the object of faith. Now it also has a meaning as light that shines on the future of humankind, such as solar power generation. On the other hand, it is also true that issues such as the increase in ultraviolet rays reaching the earth's surface due to the destruction of the ozone layer are starting to appear. This time, let's send a trivia about “Nikko” and people's health.

Sunbathing  characters disappeared from the mother and children notebook.


The sun faith was all over the world. In ancient Egypt, the sun god “Ra” was worshiped, and even in the Aztec civilization that prospered in Central America, the sun meant “God” itself.


It was not only a subject of faith, but also a long-standing view that supported people's health. There is a saying in Italy that a doctor comes where the sun doesn't come. In ancient Rome, in addition to the bathroom, the “Nikko bathroom” was also respected. Even when you visit a spa in Europe, you may come across a facility equipped with a solarium in addition to a sauna and a bathroom.


However, when it comes to “sunbathing” where the body is exposed to the sun for a certain period of time without knowing about “Hinatabokko”, it is “sunburn”. Japanese people can be said to be more respected for “whitening” than people around the world (though some girls have sunburned and blackened their faces ...). On the other hand, European people don't care much, or they like sunbathing. In Paris, France, in the summer, the road along the Seine river is closed for one month, and a white sand beach is laid and a temporary pool is created to make citizens relax. It is a festival called “Paris Plage” that creates a “coast” in the city.


Of course, it's good for your mind and body to be exposed to the sun without staying in the room! That is no mistake. However, as the verification of the effect of sunlight progressed and the increase in the amount of ultraviolet rays reached due to the destruction of the ozone layer became prominent, the negative effects of “excessive sunbathing” came to be addressed.


In recent years, the word “photoaging” has also appeared. Instead of aging due to aging, sunlight, that is, ultraviolet rays, destroys collagen in the skin, causing spots and wrinkles. Sunlight is also said to cause skin cancer and cataracts. In 1998, the description of encouraging sunbathing disappeared from the Mother and Child Notebook.


However, just like a vampire Dracula in a monster movie, you can get involved in life and death as soon as you get a little bit of sunlight! That's not true, and there are benefits to Nikko, so don't be oversensitive. For example, in the sun, cholesterol in your body changes to vitamin D. Speaking of vitamin D, it is an important ingredient for forming bones and teeth. In addition, the human body is equipped with an “internal clock”, and if this goes crazy, it will be difficult for health. In the morning, the body clock is adjusted by exposure to sunlight. In addition, the bactericidal effect cannot be overlooked.
