Can People Reduce Multiple Sclerosis With Sunlight
For the last few years we have talked about little else other than why you have to stay away from sunlight. We realize just how real skin cancer is along with the risks associated with it so we do everything we can think to do to keep it from happening to us. We don a lot of layers of the highest SPF sunscreens that we can buy. We place large old floppy hats on our heads. Even through the hottest conditions of the year we make ourselves put on long sleeves and pants. We do our best to keep only in the shady areas–some have even started holding parasols and umbrellas all around so that their skin never comes into contact with direct sunlight. Now we’re finding out that the sunlight can actually be beneficial! Can direct sunlight really help you?
There is a fresh study that indicates people who let themselves get some exposure to direct sunshine aren’t as likely to come down with MS as people who take steps to minimize sunlight contact on skin. At the onset, the study was a lot more about Vitamin D and it’s effects on Multiple Sclerosis. It soon became apparent, though, that the Vitamin D generated in our bodies as a reaction to sunlight is what is really at the root of things.
It has been acknowledged for years that the sun and Vitamin D can be used to hinder the abnormal immune system workings that are thought to contribute to MS. This specific study, though, is concentrated on how sunlight affects the people who are starting to experience the very earliest of MS symptoms. This study is trying to figure out the effects of Vitamin D and sunlight on the precursory signs or symptoms of the disease.
Unfortunately there are not really a lot of ways to really quantify the hypothesis of the study. This study is attempting to confirm whether or not sunlight can really help a person prevent Multiple Sclerosis. Sadly, analysts have came to the realization that the only way to prove this definitively is to monitor a person for his entire life. This is the only way to efficiently evaluate the previously existent levels of Vitamin D in a person’s blood before the symptoms of MS start to show themselves. The way it stands today, and has stood (widely recognized) for a long time is that people who live in warm and sunny climates and who get more exposure to direct natural light are less likely to develop MS than those who live in dark or cold climates and get very little exposure to the sun.
There is also the very critical issue that spending a lot of time in the sunlight greatly increases a person’s chances of developing skin cancer. So, in an attempt to stave off one condition, you could be causing yourself to create a different one. Of course, skin cancer-if caught early on-has an increased possibility of being curable. MS still isn’t curable.
So should you get more sun to prevent MS from setting in? Ask your doctor whether or not this is a good idea. Your physician will look into your current state of wellness, your health history and even into your genetics to help you figure out if you even sit at risk for the disease at all. From here your doctor will be able to make it easier to determine the best course of action.
