What are the disadvantages of not getting sun exposure for a long time

The development of technology has enabled us to accomplish various tasks at home using a mobile phone or a computer. Nowadays, many people like to stay indoors and are reluctant to go out, especially some girls, who stay at home on purpose for fear of getting tanned if they go out. In fact, there are many disadvantages of not getting sun exposure for a long time. Let me introduce to you in detail the disadvantages of not getting enough sun exposure for a long time. Let’s take a look.

First, not getting enough sun exposure for a long time will affect the absorption of calcium. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can promote the absorption of calcium. Not getting enough sun exposure will cause osteoporosis due to calcium deficiency in the body, leading to rickets, osteomalacia and other diseases. Second, the body's resistance will decrease if it does not get enough sun exposure, making it easier to catch a cold and become physically weak. Third, it causes skin diseases. The ultraviolet rays in the sun have a bactericidal effect. If you don’t get sun exposure, you are prone to dermatitis, acne, etc. Fourth, it will make people depressed. Not being exposed to sunlight for a long time and staying in the house will make people depressed, lack energy and prone to depression. Fifth, blood circulation and metabolism will slow down, affecting a person’s normal growth, development and physiological balance.

The best time to sunbathe: 10 o'clock and 16 o'clock. No matter how busy you are at work, it is recommended that you take half an hour every day to go outdoors, do chest expansion exercises in the sun, take deep breaths facing the sun, and stretch your body that has been curled up. This will help the circulation of Yang Qi and can also reduce diseases and even premature aging caused by weak Yang Qi to a certain extent. In addition, around 10 am and 4 pm are the best times to sunbathe for health. At this time, the sunlight is mainly composed of beneficial ultraviolet A beams, which can enable the human body to produce vitamin D, thereby enhancing the body's immune system's ability to fight tuberculosis and prevent osteoporosis, and reducing the incidence of arteriosclerosis.

Avoid sunbathing when the ultraviolet rays are too strong. As mentioned earlier, direct sunlight is definitely when the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong. The second time of the day is during noon, when the sun is the strongest and hottest. The intensity of the ultraviolet rays cannot be ignored, so don't go at this time. The choice of time is also very important, and it is better in the morning and evening. The best choice is under a tree, or in a well-ventilated place with fresh air and suitable humidity. The shade of the leaves can avoid direct sunlight and reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays.

The above is what I introduced to you about the disadvantages of not getting sun exposure for a long time. I believe everyone has understood it. It is recommended that everyone should get some sun exposure often, especially babies and the elderly, as this can supplement calcium and enhance the body's immunity. However, be careful not to expose yourself to direct sunlight to avoid sunburn. I wish you good health.
