flag Avoiding sunlight linked to doubled death risk and shorter life, study finds.

flag A Swedish study of nearly 30,000 women found that avoiding sunlight was linked to a doubled risk of death over 20 years, with sun-avoiders losing 0.6 to 2.1 years of life, primarily due to cardiovascular disease. flag Researchers at the Karolinska Institute suggest benefits from moderate sun exposure—like vitamin D production and nitric oxide release—may improve heart health, but warn that excessive exposure raises skin cancer risk. flag Experts recommend balanced, non-burning sun exposure for potential health benefits without harm.
