Is Tanning bed light like natural light?
Sunlight reportedly helps the body to manufacture vitamin D, which is linked to fighting diseases. Will a Tanning Bed do the same thing?
It is a fact that when ultraviolet light touches your skin it causes your body to naturally produce vitamin D. Vitamin D has been linked to treat and/or prevent many diseases and conditions. For example, Dr. Holick Professor of Medicine, Dermatology, Physiology, and Biophysics at the Boston University Medical Center has found substantial evidence that the Vitamin D you get from tanning can help with the following diseases and conditions:
* Breast Cancer
* Colon Cancer
* Depression (Nonseasonal)
* Fybromyalgia
* High Blood Pressure
* Multiple Sclerosis
* Osteomalacia
* Osteoporosis
* Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
* Prostate Cancer
* Psoriasis
* Rheumatoid Arthritis
* Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
* Type 1 Diabetes
* Type 2 Diabetes
