YESYES, THEY ARE THERE: THE BENEFITS OF SUNBATHING

So that's why you just have to stay in the sun for a really long time

Yes, wow, we can of course list hundreds of reasons why it is not good to sunbathe. Pigment issues, wrinkles which appear faster and thus aging that comes years earlier, and even more nasties and bad things. And honestly: that's true. But there are also plenty of reasons to think about why it is good to push your snout into the sun. Of course, with these tips in mind, a dab of sunscreen with a high factor and sunglasses on your nose.

The most beautiful skin

And I'm not just talking about that nice brown color. I'm also talking about the fact that your skin suddenly becomes super smooth and that it radiates health. If you suffer from acne or psoriasis, you should definitely seek out the sun. Skin problems are simply pushed behind a cloud by the sun.

Resistance

Ever come back from vacation sick? Then you might have eaten something wrong, because it can't be the sun. It actually increases the number of white blood cells that fight infections. So going on vacation is basically really healthy.

Inspiration

This sounds like an incredibly exciting story, because sunlight produces the substance serotonin. And that substance helps you find more peace in your head, creating space for inspiration and creativity. Just slide this under the noses of your colleagues and boss, because I think it's high time for a team outing (May, are you reading this?).

Sleeping Beauty

As soon as I lie on the beach, I fall asleep. That's not disinterest regarding the amazing surroundings, the sparkling sea, and looking at all the beauty on the beach, no, that's just because my eyes automatically close immediately. That's not so strange. UV radiation produces melatonin and that's the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle. So are you a difficult sleeper and sleeping pills no longer help? Just lay your bed on the beach. Done.

Sexy sun

Kiki wrote last week that vacation releases certain feelings and most people turn into a bunch of rabbits because of it. That also has a golden origin. Sun increases the testosterone level in your blood and that's the hormone that causes higher sexual desire. See, everything is just related to the body.

Cholesterol

Completely indulging in bread baskets, olive oil, fresh tapenades, olives, and other goodies? Oh, you are so right. And don't worry, because the UV radiation from the sun helps convert cholesterol, so that's perfectly balanced.
