Research on vitamin D has continued to spout the importance of appropriate exposure to the sun. This being the only way researchers felt was ideal to optimize the level of vitamin D you’re taking in.
However, winter is something that limits the amount of sun exposure we can get dramatically. The next best option during the winter months is a UVB light. When it comes to tanning beds the most damaging element in them is the magnetic ballasts. This is much less damaging than EMFs that are used in some tanning beds. By implementing proper UVB usage during the winter months you will be limiting the body’s production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a compound that lowers your blood pressure.
