Sun bath is very important for perfect health. It has a mystical antibacterial and antifungal property. The sun showers three types of rays upon us:
- Rays of visible (white) light
The white light of the sun is made up of light of seven different colors, as seen in the rainbow. Each color has its specific effects on the body.
- Infra-red rays
These rays impart heat. The warmth of these rays is most welcome in the winter. Moreover, these rays relax and soothe muscles, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
- Ultra-violet rays
These rays are of special importance. Vitamin D is produced in the body by the action of ultra-violet rays falling on the skin. Sunlight is in fact the best source of Vitamin D. A deficiency of Vitamin D causes a disease of the bones known as ‘rickets’.
Not only the skin, but the entire body derives benefits from sunlight. Exposure to sunlight improves health and enhances the resistive powers of the body.
Here are some other benifits of sun bath:-
Sunlight helps nourish the muscles. If the skin is deprived of sunlight by keeping it covered, the muscles tend to weaken and degenerate.
Sunlight promotes the proper formation of teeth, speedy growth of hair, and quick and deep breathing.
Blood pressure is brought down, and the kidneys become more efficient.
By the action of sun light, skin diseases are cured, blisters are burst and wounds are healed more speedily.
Sunlight maintains and even increases the amount of alkali in the blood.
