When you relax on a sun-splashed beach this summer, you’ll probably be more preoccupied with your tan lines than your back health. But that radiant summer glow isn’t the only good thing the sun will do to your body!
Vitamin D has many important functions, including helping your immune system to function properly and regulating the aborption of calcium and phosphorous. Getting an adequate amount of Vitamin D is important for strong and healthy bones and improving your resistance against certain diseases. So while you indulge in some well deserved “R and R” on the beach this summer, think about the natural health benefits you could be reaping from the sunshine.
It’s just another reason why our Stoke on Trent chiropractors love summertime!
Remember to always stay safe in the sun by regularly applying a high factor sun screen, drinking plenty of water and avoiding direct sunlight between 12pm – 3pm.
