The phrase "The sun is the basis of our health," sounds quite often. But why is that so? The basis for staying in the sun is the right measure and protection. If we stay in the sun to a reasonable extent and at the same time use the right solar photoprotection, the sun's rays will only bring us positives. For example, it causes the production of the hormone of happiness - seratonin, and thus improves the mental state. It also has a healing effect on many skin diseases. One of the most important benefits is the stimulation of the body to produce vitamin D, which strengthens the immune system and activates mainly innate immunity and NK cells - the "natural killers". It is anticarcinogenic because it partially prevents the division of cancer cells, especially in the case of prostate, colon, skin and breast cancer, and sometimes even causes their death. Vitamin D deficiency in the blood leads to inactivation of T-lymphocytes, immune cells that are responsible for fighting foreign pathogens. The vitamin also limits the development of autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes.
