Sunshine is good for you



Women who have higher levels of vitamin D, which enters the body through sunshine, tend to show signs of being “biologically younger” and healthier than others.Women aged between 18 and 79 showed that sunshine could have an effect on age-related illnesses, such as heart disease.

These results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D.People should not think that being out in the sun all the time was healthy.
The results of the Higher serum vitamin D concentrations are associated with longer leukocyte telomer length in women study revealed that the researchers measured the women’s telomeres which were a sign of biological ageing.

As people age, telomeres become shorter. But the scientists found that women with higher vitamin D levels tend to have longer telomeres.
