FLAWLESS FRIDAYS!! For todays topic: SUNSHINE ☀ Enjoying the last few weeks of summer? Before you head out in that nice warm sunshine, please do check out this video on how the sun sees you. SUNSHINE CONS: youtu.be/o9BqrSAHbTc SUNSHINE PROS: However, basking in the sun is not all that bad. In fact, our skin even produces something that is called “sunshine vitamin” a response to being exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D is important in regulating calcium and phosphorous absorption and facilitating normal immune system function. It helps fight diseases such as: - reducing the risk of multiple sclerosis (according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association) - decreases your chance of developing a heart disease (according to a 2008 findings published in Circulation) - helping reduce your likelihood of developing the flu (according to a 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition) It doesn’t take much to reap the benefits of this “sunshine vitamin”. Just 10 minutes a day of mid-day sun exposure is plenty, especially if you’re fair skinned. Life is all about balance. Hope this helps! Now go be beautiful~ xoxo, HDskincare —- References: healthline/health-slideshow/benefits-vitamin-d#1 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17179460 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18180395?dopt=Citation ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20219962
