Expose yourself to Sun helps the metabolism and it could be useful to prevent obesity e 2 type diabetes. After exposure to sunlight, the skin releases nitric oxide, a substance that plays a key role in metabolism.
Moderate exposure to UV rays would favor the release of a protein capable of slowing the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. This was announced by a study conducted at the Universities of Edinburgh and Southampton, which was recently published in the magazine Diabetes.
Experts speculated that sunlight would be able to counteract weight gain. Exposure to the sun allows you to increase the production of nitric oxide and vitamin D at the skin level. According to what was communicated by the experts, nitric oxide would not only be able to promote vasodilation, but it would also be able to influence the mechanisms by which our body regulates metabolism.
Plus nitric oxide might be able di lower blood pressure. Let's think about hypertension, a factor that is often associated with both obesity and diabetes. At the moment, the researchers have been conducting laboratory experiments that will need further research to find more confirmation.
What is certain is that sun exposure carried out in moderation could have beneficial effects on our health, which will probably be tested and deepened over time. Being exposed to the sun also means spend more time outdoors, so get out of the house, get more exercise and win the sedentary, which is now called the disease of the century.
Previous studies had already shown that sun exposure of 30 minutes a day when the climate permits it helps our body to supply itself with vitamin D, an important substance for the well-being of the bones and to keep the brain healthy. Vitamin D, in fact, would favor the elimination of toxic substances that can hinder neurons and make the brain work more difficult.
