Smoking, you have been warned: exposing yourself to the sun's rays is especially good for you, given that the action of the sun, it has just been demonstrated, mitigates the damage caused by cigarette smoking. The news was revealed by a Swedish study just published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, a study conducted on 30 thousand women.
“The study started in 1990 involved Swedish women aged between 25 and 64 – stated Girolomoni, Director of Dermatology of Verona and president of the Italian Society of Dermatology – and has demonstrated in a way clear that avoiding the sun hurts. In fact, women who expose themselves to the sun have a lower risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) and survive longer, 0.6-2.1 years longer to be precise. It didn't end here. Exposing yourself to the sun offsets the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. The benefits are to be related to the fact that the skin exposed to the sun produces greater quantities of vitamin D."
It's not just vitamin D that's good for you; skin cells in fact they also produce beta endorphins which are responsible for the feeling of experience e contentment and perhaps also the dependence that many people feel when exposing themselves to the sun. Skin in the sun also releases nitric oxide which is capable of lowering the blood pressure, but it should never be forgotten that the sun favors also aging skin and development of skin tumors such as epitheliomas or melanomas.
Using cream is always imperative, especially for those who have light skin and exposes itself to the sun for the first time of the year.
