晒太陽 好處多The Important of Sunshine
再忙也要花點時間做日光浴enjoy some time in the sun
由於新冠病毒極具傳染性且有時足以致命，因此造成多數民眾心生恐懼。
雖然疫苗已有效遏止恐懼蔓延，但一些研究結果證明，太陽的紫外線或許也能提供一些保護。
去年四月，《英國皮膚病學雜誌》發表了由愛丁堡大學理查‧韋勒所率領的蘇格蘭團隊的一項研究結果。
該團隊發現太陽很可能是新冠病毒的新敵人。
研究人員分析了二○二一年一月到四月間在美國本土記錄中的所有新冠病毒死亡案例。
研究結果顯示了一些值得注意的事情；住在UVA射線暴露程度最高地區的民眾死於新冠病毒的可能性，不如住在暴露程度最低地區的人那樣高。
而英國和義大利進行的同類研究中亦出現相同的結果。
該理論意味著，皮膚暴露於陽光下而釋放的一氧化氮，能降低病毒繁殖和傳播的能力。
新冠病毒的研究人員同意仍需持續進行更多研究，但也因這些發現受到極大的鼓勵。
大多數人都認同陽光的好處多多；所以，拿起防晒乳，去盡情享受一下日光浴吧。
Because COVID is contagious and sometimes deadly, it makes most people's blood run cold. While vaccines have helped to stem that fear, some findings suggest that the sun's UV rays may offer some protection. Last April, the British Journal of Dermatology published the results of a study by a Scottish team led by Richard Weller of the University of Edinburgh. They found that the sun may be COVID's new foe. The researchers analyzed all COVID deaths that had been recorded in the continental U.S. between January and April 2021. The findings showed something notable.
People in areas with the highest level of UVA-ray exposure were not as likely to die of COVID as those in areas with the lowest exposure. The same type of research done in England and Italy showed the same results.
The theory suggests that nitric oxide, which is released by the skin when exposed to sunlight, reduces the ability of the virus to reproduce and spread.
Researchers that deal with COVID not only agree that more research needs to be carried out but also are very encouraged by the findings. Most people concur that the benefits of sunshine are substantial. So, grab your sunscreen, and soak up a bit of sun.
