The Importance of Sun Exposure
Avoiding ultraviolet light is commonly advised due to its association with skin cancer. However, research suggests that individuals with skin cancer diagnoses, including both non-melanoma and melanoma types, often have low vitamin D levels. This paradox raises questions about the role that sun exposure plays in overall health, particularly regarding vitamin D production, which is essential for numerous bodily functions. Therefore, moderate sun exposure at optimal times, particularly during sunrise, may be crucial for maintaining adequate vitamin D levels, which could help mitigate cancer risks.
