With high blood pressure trebling the chance of heart attacks and strokes, researchers believe the benefits of sunlight may outweigh the risks of skin cancer.
The study by experts at Southampton and Edinburgh Universities exposed the skin of 24 healthy young men to a sun lamp for 20 minutes and measured their blood pressure.
Diastolic pressure -- the lower of the two figures in a blood pressure reading -- dropped significantly and remained low for at least half an hour after the lamp was switched off.
