The doctor pointed out the unexpected danger of sunlight


Elena Solomatina, a nutritionist and Candidate of medical Sciences, said that a summer tan can cause more harm than good to the body.
In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, July 2, the specialist noted that ultraviolet radiation damages the DNA of cells, causing a chain reaction of destruction comparable to the nuclear process.
Even when using sunscreens, the skin is still exposed, and the body is forced to actively produce melanin for protection, writes RT. Solomatina added that free radicals damage cell membranes, dehydrate the skin and cause oxidative stress.
Foods rich in antioxidants, including seafood, berries, fish and fruits, help to support the body's defenses, Moscow 24 reports.
July 1 Pravda.Ru, referring to experts, wrote that sunscreen and sunscreen are not interchangeable, but complementary products. The first one helps to prevent damage from solar radiation, the second one soothes and restores the skin after exposure. One protects, the other heals. Neglecting any of them can have unpleasant consequences.
Biologist Yulia Drobysheva warned on June 20 that excessive exposure to sunlight can lead to burns and premature skin aging. She called for preparing the skin in advance: a few days before a beach holiday, use a scrub to tan evenly and moisturize the skin with a cream with natural oils.
On June 19, it was reported that the safest time for those who want to tan without harm to their health is in the morning before 10:00 and in the evening after 16:00. According to experts, the sun is most aggressive during the daytime, so it is safer to be indoors or in deep shade at this time, writes NSN.
