I have always maintained that sensible exposure to sunshine is great for your health. Sadly, because of the general paranoia surrounding sunshine, fueled in part by sunscreen manufacturers, it means that most people do not get enough exposure to the health giving benefits of sunshine.<\/p>\n

Apart from the fact that this leads to a Vitamin D deficiency in a significant proportion of the population, there are many people who could overcome or relieve some of their health problems if they \u2018exposed\u2019 themselves to the sun on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

One such example of a health issues which I have known sunshine helps is\u00a0Asthma<\/a>. However, all the evidence was anecdotal. BUT\u2026now there is evidence!<\/p>\n

The \u2018Australian\u2019 newspaper recently ran an article about a study just completed by the Perth Telethon Institute for Child Health Research who have established that\u00a0Asthma<\/a>\u00a0sufferers could benefit by regular exposure to sunlight.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the highlights.<\/p>\n

\u201cScientists used mice to test the effects of ultraviolet light on the development of\u00a0Asthma<\/a>-type signs like inflamed airways and lungs. Preliminary results show that if the animals had a 15-30 minute dose of light before being exposed to a common allergen their chance of developing symptoms was \u201csignificantly reduced\u201d.<\/p>\n

Research leader Prue Hart said UV exposure produces a cell type in a mouse that, when transferred into other mice, suppresses the immune reactions and halts symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe measured the response of the airways and if the mice had been radiated beforehand they had very little responses to those allergens,\u201d Professor Hart said.<\/p>\n

She said the research was the first to prove sunlight was among the environmental and genetic factors that influence the chronic disease.<\/p>\n

It was a \u201chugely exciting\u201d development and could explain why\u00a0Asthma<\/a>\u00a0rates were high at a time when people aren\u2019t getting as much sun exposure as they did 50 years ago, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now working to better understand that mechanism with the aim of generating new ways to prevent and treat it.\u201d But Professor Hart cautioned the theory had yet to be tested on humans.<\/p>\n

And given that overexposure to sunlight can cause skin\u00a0Cancer<\/a>, sufferers should not rush out to sun bake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rmember, as I said\u2026sensible exposure to sunlight is the answer. That basically means not going beyond some \u2018pinkness\u2019 on the skin and avoiding further exposure until the pinkness has gone and the skin has naturally tanned in that area.<\/p>\n
