Tanning is good for your health!

What good can tanning do to your body? Since indoor tanning mimics the sun’s rays to create a bronzed look that many people love, this procedure is similar to heliotherapy – the medical therapy involving the use of sunlight. Here’s a rundown of the many advantages of exposure to sunlight – simulated or otherwise:

More vitamin D production – Why are people happier and more relaxed on sunny days? Blame it on increased amounts of vitamin D that the skin creates whenever it is exposed to sunlight. Several studies show

that lack of vitamin D is responsible for a number of ailments, including heart diseases, osteoporosis, and multiple sclerosis, to name a few. Although sunlight is the best and only natural source of vitamin D, indoor tanning beds that give off ultraviolet-B (UV-B) rays are another good alternative. Compared to dietary or supplementary vitamin D, there are no side effects from vitamin D that comes from the sun or a tanning bed.

Defense against certain cancers – People who reside in sunny places appear to have a lower incidence of ovarian, breast and colon cancers than those who stay in places with less sunlight. If your area has little sunlight, the best way to remedy this is to use a tanning bed. But don’t overdo it, since the excessive use of tanning beds can be detrimental to your health.

Defense against seasonal depression – Sunlight and simulated sunlight from tanning beds can help people suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder or the winter blues. This is recommended for people with low winter moods. UV exposure can likewise reduce the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) – that uncomfortable feeling before the beginning of a woman’s period. PMS is characterized by mild depression, mood swings, irritability, physical discomfort, and social withdrawal.
Psoriasis remedy – Exposure to UV-light can improve the distressing appearance and discomfort of psoriasis. This is often used in combination with drugs like psoralens. But don’t forget to visit a doctor before undergoing any treatment program. For weary travelers, heliotherapy can prevent jet lag. As you know, it’s normal to be uncomfortable in another time zone, especially if your body hasn’t adjusted to the situation. Research reveals that sunlight or simulated sunlight can reset your body’s biological clock. This means less daytime drowsiness and improved sleeping habits. Lastly, heliotherapy may stop fungal Infections. Researchers said that UV light therapy, combined with antifungal drug treatments, is more effective in fighting various fungal infections, especially those of the skin or nails.
