Sun's blood pressure benefits 'may outdo cancer risks'


The health benefits of exposing skin to sunlight may far outweigh the risk of developing skin cancer, according to scientists.

Edinburgh University research suggests sunlight helps reduce blood pressure, cutting heart attack and stroke risks and even prolonging life.

UV rays were found to release a compound that lowers blood pressure.

Researchers said more studies would be carried out to determine if it is time to reconsider advice on skin exposure.

Heart disease and stroke linked to high blood pressure are estimated to lead to about 80 times more deaths than those from skin cancer in the UK.

Production of the pressure-reducing compound, nitric oxide, is separate from the body's manufacture of vitamin D, which rises after exposure to sunshine.

  2. Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
    for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had
    issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  3. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
