Katil penyamakan tidak mengandungi vitamin D, tetapi mereka boleh membuat badan anda menghasilkannya - tetapi terdapat beberapa tangkapan.
Inilah penurunannya:
Begini cara badan anda menghasilkan vitamin D.
Badan anda menghasilkan vitamin D apabila terdedah kepada sinaran UVB daripada cahaya matahari.
Sesetengah katil penyamakan mengeluarkan UVB, tetapi kebanyakannya memancarkan UVA, which doesn’t help with vitamin D production and causes more skin ageing and cancer risk.
Warning! Issues with using tanning beds to get your vitamin D.
The UVB output is a bit unreliable.
Most modern tanning beds are designed for cosmetic tanning and mostly emit UVA, so they produce little or no vitamin D.
There are some pretty serious health risks involved.
Tanning beds can increase your risk of skin cancer, including deadly melanoma.
Even spending just a short time in a tanning bed can damage your skin’s DNA.
There are better sources out there.
It’s better and safer to take supplements and eat foods that are high in omega-3, like fatty fish, fortified milk and eggs.
You just need to make sure you get 10–15 minutes of sun a few times a week (depending on your skin type and where you live) to get enough vitamin D.
