The winter season has started with pink chill. Food becomes more important in winter. However, this season is also important for building health. Sunlight is especially important in winter. In winter people sit in the sun to avoid cold but in this season the sunlight not only protects us from cold but also affects our skin and body. Regular exposure to sunlight can provide many benefits to the body but to avoid the cold people wear warm clothes due to which the body does not get direct sunlight and increases the risk of many diseases. Sunlight should be taken for 15 minutes daily in the morning to avoid health problems in winter.
Benefits of Sunlight
1. Sunlight has properties that reduce the risk of various types of infections affecting the skin. Exposure to sunlight causes the body to produce enough WBCs to fight disease-causing factors.
2. Exposure to sunlight is very beneficial for children. Especially for babies who have stopped drinking mother’s milk, exposing them to 15 minutes of sunlight provides them with vitamin D.
