We all consider sunlight as a demon for our

beautiful and sensitive skin. But people are hardly aware of the fact that exposure to moderate amount of sun can let them reap a number of health benefits....

Let’s explore what the sunlight has in store for

you and your body.

back stress. When you are exposed to sunlight, it triggers the brain to produce serotonin in an enhanced concentration so as to boost your mood and induce a feeling of calmness.

If a person stays in dark, the normal level of serotonin declines rising the risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

It enables body to absorb calcium from the diet that ultimately helps in making the bones dense and strong.

PREVENTS CANCER
