#importanceofsunlight

The sun’s rays are a boon for our health. More or less, this is known to most of us that sunlight is needed for the Vitamin D synthesis within our body. The skin contains cholesterol. When the UVB rays of the sun hit the skin, the skin’s cholesterol is synthesized and it goes through a chain of reactions (scientifically known as ‘hydroxylation’) to ultimately convert into a molecule called ‘calcitriol’. The latter is the one that aids in the proper calcium absorption by the bones of your body.
