 The
sun is very important in our lives. As a matter of fact, we can’t
live without it. All living creatures on Earth need the
sunlight to survive. Humans, animals,
trees, and flowers all receive energy from the sun.
The warm sunshine also makes you healthier and happier!
Spring is a great season to enjoy sunbathing.
Did you know that your body produces vitamin D if you
enjoy the sunshine? This is why the vitamin is called the sunshine
vitamin. Vitamin D is very important for your body. It makes your
bones stronger by helping with the absorption of calcium. It also helps your
brain work well.
Today, many children in the world suffer from vitamin D deficiency. A lack of vitamin
D can cause a number of health problems
including diabetes and heart disease. Spending about 30 minutes
a day in the sun is enough to make all the vitamin D your body needs.
According to a new study, enjoying the sunshine
is very important for your health. Spending more time under the sunshine
can even help you live longer!
Researchers at the University
of Warwick in England and the Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences
in China found that the sunshine can help you live longer by cutting
the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
“After studying 3,262 people in Beijing and Shanghai in China, we
found that the more time you spend in the sun, the more easily your body is able
to produce this important vitamin,” said Dr. Oscar Franco who led
the study.
“Vitamin D deficiency is becoming a huge problem across the globe.
If you eat right, exercise regularly, and spend
more time in the sun, you can live a longer, happier, and healthier
life,” he added.
See? Now you know the importance of enjoying the sunshine. However,
before going out to sunbathe, don’t forget to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the
harmful UV light! |
