SUNSHINE can do wonders to your HEART!!

Studies into sunlight usually credit vitamin D with any health benefits, but in this case a different compound was at work. It is thought that the UVA rays emitted by the lamp triggered the release of a compound called nitric oxide from the skin.It then traveled to the blood vessels and relaxed them, causing blood pressure to fall.

The researchers wrote in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology that even a small drop in blood pressure cuts the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
