Benefits of Sunlight

• A dietary supplement can supply vitamin D without the mutagenic effect, but bypasses natural mechanisms that would prevent overdoses of vitamin D generated internally from sunlight.
• Vitamin D has a wide range of positive health effects, which include strengthening bones and possibly inhibiting the growth of some cancers.
• UV exposure also has positive effects for endorphin levels.
• Visible sunlight to the eyes gives health benefits through its association with the timing of melatonin synthesis, maintenance of normal and robust circadian rhythms, and reduced risk of seasonal affective disorder.


Adverse Effects of Sunlight

• The ultraviolet radiation in sunlight has both positive and negative health effects, as it is both a principal source of vitamin D3 and a mutagen.
• Long-term sunlight exposure is known to be associated with the development of skin cancer, skin aging, immune suppression, and eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
• Short-term over-exposure is the cause of sunburn, snow blindness, and solar retinopathy.

Numerous public health organizations state that there needs to be a balance between the risks of having too much sunlight or too little.
