What are the benefits of sunbathing for women

The sun has very strong ultraviolet rays, but the human body also needs to bask in the sun regularly. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays can damage our skin, but a moderate amount of exposure will be beneficial to our health. Since everyone's skin is different, the time for sun exposure should be about 1 to 3 hours. Sun exposure can help the body obtain more vitamins and energy, which will be of great help in preventing some diseases.

According to research, every square centimeter of skin exposed to sunlight for 3 hours can produce about 20 international units of vitamin D. Even if the baby is wrapped tightly in clothes, as long as the face is exposed to the sun for one hour a day, 400 international units of vitamin D can be produced. This is close to all the vitamin D a baby needs every day.

Sunbathing can help the human body obtain vitamin D, which is also the main source of vitamin D for the human body. Vitamin D is also called the "sunshine vitamin". The vitamin D3 source contained in human skin is produced and converted into vitamin D by absorbing ultraviolet rays in the sun. It can help the human body take in and absorb calcium and phosphorus, making children's bones grow strong and healthy. It has a preventive effect on infantile rickets and osteomalacia. For adults, it can prevent osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Sunbathing can prevent skin diseases. Proper exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays can effectively kill bacteria on the skin and increase the skin's resistance.

Sunbathing can also enhance the body's immune function and increase the activity of phagocytes. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight have strong bactericidal ability. Generally, bacteria and certain viruses will be killed after being exposed to sunlight for half an hour or several hours.

Sunlight also plays a role in regulating the human body's life rhythm and psychology. Sunbathing can promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and regulate the central nervous system, making the body feel relaxed and comfortable.

Sunbathing can increase male hormone levels, enhance sexual desire, and improve sperm quality. Because the level of testosterone in the human blood will increase with the increase of vitamin D content in the body. The study also confirmed that one hour of sun exposure every day can increase the testosterone in the human body by 69%.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can also stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, improve hematopoietic function, and thus prevent anemia.

The best time to sunbathe is from 6 to 10 in the morning. At this time, the infrared rays in the sunlight are strong and the ultraviolet rays are weak, which can play a role in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; in addition, 4 to 5 pm is also the best time to sunbathe, which can promote the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, enhance physical fitness, and promote normal bone calcification. However, the daylight hours are longer in summer, and the heat waves are at their peak from 4 to 5 p.m., so the time for sunbathing can be postponed a little.
