The Importance of Sun Exposure
Avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen daily is a common anti-aging mistake. Humans have evolved alongside the sun, and avoiding it could be detrimental to health, as demonstrated by the therapeutic properties of infrared light. While ultraviolet (UV) rays are often blamed for skin aging and conditions like melanoma, research suggests that the relationship is more complex, with increasing melanoma rates occurring even as sun exposure decreases. Additionally, sun exposure is crucial for vitamin D production and increases the release of beneficial substances like nitric oxide and melatonin, which promote skin health and overall well-being.
