The sun has provided mankind with warmth and good health since the dawn of time. Your body cleverly developed a system to produce vitamin D naturally by having the UVB rays in sunshine penetrate your skin and react with the cholesterol to produce vitamin D. In addition, UV exposure also produces other photoproducts and processes that contribute in many ways to have a positive impact on your health. These are not found in vitamin D supplements.

For example:

• Nitric Oxide is produced in the skin with UVA exposure. Nitric Oxide (NO) through vasodilatation and lowering of blood pressure reduces Cardiovascular Disease
• Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved not only in mood, but also in cognition, regulation of feeding behavior, anxiety, aggression, pain, sexual activity, and sleep
• Endorphins released into the blood during UV exposure, may reach the brain in sufficient concentrations to induce mood enhancement and relaxation, reduce depression and provide pain relief
• Melatonin has a potent anti-oxidant effect
• UV light treats and helps prevent skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, acne
• UV light regulates circadian rhythm – circadian clock, which effects mood, sleep, and cognition

You need moderate, regular, nonburning sun exposure. This is what your body was designed for. This is also why your body develops a tan. A tan is a natural reaction from your body to increased UV exposure. Your body doesn’t want your skin to burn. So, it produces melanin which gives your skin a darker tone to help protect you from burning.
