For this reason .. beware of the sun's rays in the summer

Weather of Arabia - The sun is one of the most important sources of vitamin D, which millions suffer from a deficiency around the world, but exposure to sunlight to obtain it is considered dangerous if it continues for a long time.

Be careful of the sun in the summer for this reason

Researchers of the Pernambouc State College of Medicine in Brazil confirmed that prolonged exposure to sunlight leads to an increase in the secretion of free radicals during the tanning process, which limits the secretion of vitamin D.

Researchers at the university studied the link between vitamin D and exposure to sunlight on 1,000 participants between the ages of 13 and 82 years, according to Al-Nahar.

The participants in the study were exposed to the sun on a daily basis without using sunscreen, nor did they take any type of vitamin D supplement.

The results of the study showed that participants who were exposed to a lot of sun had lower levels of vitamin D. This means that exposure to sunlight for a few minutes is sufficient to store the necessary vitamin D in the body.
