Take care when sunbathing and avoid risks for your skin and health.<\/h3>\n

The sun can cause irreparable damage <\/strong>to your skin so when exposed to it, wear solar factors that filter the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How can the sun harm you?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • It damages the skin`s collagen<\/strong> and elastin.<\/li>\n
  • It damages the skin`s <\/strong>defences and leaves it exposed to infection.<\/li>\n
  • It causes premature ageing <\/strong>of the skin, wrinkles and blemishes.<\/li>\n
  • It causes burns<\/strong> which leave scars.<\/li>\n
  • It can cause skin cancer (melanomas or carcinomas).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    But the sun affords real benefits too.<\/p>\n

    Do you really know what they are?<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. It improves your skin`s appearance<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A tan makes you look more active and healthy<\/strong>. It improves acne<\/strong>, helps eliminate spots because they dry up, and helps cure <\/strong>lesions produced by illnesses like psoriasis, or dermatitis.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It strengthens bones.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The sun activates vitamin D <\/strong>synthesis, which is indispensable for calcium <\/strong>to be absorbed properly so that bones do not weaken. It favours the development of bones and tissues in growth stages, thus preventing rickets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. It improves the immune system.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Exposure to the sun increases the number of lymphocytes <\/strong>in the blood, which are the body`s defences.<\/p>\n

          It lowers blood pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Body temperature rises and acts as a vasodilator. This helps lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. It improves mood.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The sun`s rays stimulate the production of serotonin<\/strong>, a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in your mood and helps you rest properly as well as regulating the stress <\/strong>hormone.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. It affects sexual life.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              It raises testosterone levels<\/strong>, which increases libido.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. It protects against some types of cancer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Five minutes <\/strong>a day exposed to the sun`s rays can help protect you against colon or breast cancer,<\/strong> thanks to the action of vitamin D<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                Do not forget to protect your skin and eyes if you sunbathe <\/strong>and do not sunbathe in very hot places or in the early hours of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

                That way you will be getting the best out of the sun. Be sensible.<\/strong><\/pre>\n
