Exposure of the skin to sunlight can help reduce blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke . And 'what emerges from a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

The research, carried out at the University of Southampton and Edinburgh, shows that sunlight alters the levels of nitric oxide (NO ) in the skin and in the blood, reducing blood pressure .

Martin Feelisch , Professor of Experimental Medicine and Integrative Biology at the University of Southampton , said: " Nitric oxide is involved in the regulation of blood pressure when exposed to sunlight : nitric dioxide, small amounts are transferred from the skin to the movement lowering the tone of the blood vessels , reducing blood pressure , and therefore the risk of heart attack and stroke . Cardiovascular diseases account for 30 % of all deaths globally each year "

But we must not forget that it is important to limit your exposure to sunlight to prevent skin cancer . And in any case , you should always wear sunscreen against UV rays .

Professor Feelisch adds that: " These results are part of the ongoing debate on the potential health benefits of sun exposure and the role of vitamin D. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun is essential to prevent skin cancer , but we must not demonize the sun exposure limited and adequate protection is beneficial to the body. believe it is appropriate to consider how to maximize the skin's ability to store and deliver nitric oxide to the circulation more efficiently for cardiovascular health "
