Everyone needs some sun. It is the best natural source of Vitamin D, and you do feel good in the sun. But the sun’s rays are all ultraviolet in nature that are real bad for you! It emits UVA, UVB and UVC rays. All of the UVC and most of the UVB rays get absorbed by the ozone layer surrounding the earth. Nevertheless, a lot of these bad UV’s reach us leading to an increased incidence of skin cancers world-over.
Beauty trends and personal lifestyle needs have taken sun exposure to dangerous levels. The very need to look good and possess a tanned body has brought about the invention of artificial tanning beds that use pure UV rays for the tanned effect 🙁 Tanning beds have only added to the number of UV radiation based illnesses.
UV radiation can lead to acute or chronic health effects, affecting the overall immune system, eyes and skin cancers. Let us look at 5 harmful effects of UV radiation.
A tanned body sure looks good, but too much of tanning – natural and artificial – has serious ill-effects. Think of tanning with these foods 🙂 Avoid the sun, use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 and above all ditch the tanning bed habit!
