RE: Why Sunlight Is Important For Us - And How Lighting Affects Our Health!

in #health7 years ago

It has been shown that outdoor workers do NOT get more skin cancer than other people.
One theory is that they are outside in the early morning sun -- which has more of the red hues and wavelengths. Full of red light, by the time the heavy UV rays come out between 10:00-3:00, the outdoor workers are able to absorb the beneficial aspects of UV rays (vitamin D and more), but the protective red light shields them from the harmful aspects.

Compare that to indoor workers who fill their bodies with too much blue light from their screens, flickering fluorescent lights that cause the jitters, put on sunscreen and sunglasses that block those same beneficial lights, and have windows in their cars, homes and offices with tints or films that block UV rays.

Enjoy the sun - it's free! It's healthy!
