Sunbathing well for the line

amsterdam - Good news for solar lovers: it's good for the line!

This is shown by a study by the Canadian University of Alberta. Your cells absorb less fat in the sunlight and dissolve it faster. Perfect to see excess pounds disappear.

'Sunlight can penetrate our skin in the summer and reach the fat cells just below it. The cells do not want to store as much fat as they are under the influence of sunlight, 'says Peter Light, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Alberta. He published the findings of his research in the scientific magazine 'Nature'.

You can also reverse his story. Insufficient exposure to sunlight can lead to extra fat storage.

The discoveries of the Light team form the starting point for a whole series of extra research. After all, it is not yet clear how regular and how long people have to lie in the sun to lose weight. Furthermore, the professor now also hopes to further investigate whether light therapy can be a possibility for diabetic patients.

In fact, the professor's team was not looking for a possible correlation between sunlight and weight loss. The Diabetes Institute wanted to investigate how fat cells produce insulin when they respond to light. After all, that could help many patients with diabetes. That research is now continuing.

Incidentally, many sunbathing is also harmful. The risk of skin cancer then grows considerably.
