LOS ANGELES, June 14 — The guys behind the popular YouTube channel Life Noggin has tackled a very interesting question: What would happen if you never saw the sun?
We all know that the sun is important to humans but just how important is it?
Well, apparently it’s not absolutely necessary for us to see the sun in order to live but it does help keep us healthy.
For one thing, we get our dosage of Vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is essential for bone integrity and plays a protective role against diabetes and cardio vascular diseases. So, yes, that would make it pretty important.
And apparently, recent research has linked the lack of Vitamin D to multiple sclerosis and prostate cancer.
What other benefits do we get from sunlight?
Well exposure to light and spending time outdoors help to improve our mood. In addition, sunlight also helps to reverse seasonal defective disorder.
Of course, we also know that too much sun is no good. There’s the problem of sunburns and skin cancer to name a couple.
So, don’t shy away from the sun. Just be sure you put on a hat or slap on some sunscreen.
