Benefits of Sun Exposure for Health
Sun exposure has been highlighted as a vital element for overall health and disease prevention. Studies reveal that adequate sun exposure can lead to significant health advantages, including a reduction in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and various types of cancers. An analysis of the impact of ultraviolet light exposure demonstrated lower mortality rates with higher sun exposure, correlating with up to 50 days of additional life for individuals with extensive sun-seeking behaviors.
