Sun tanning can have a positive impact when it comes to multiple sclerosis, according to US researchers.

In the course of the study, it was found that people who are more likely to catch fire in childhood are less likely to suffer from multiple sclerosis than those who abstained from exposure to the sun. Scientists attribute this fact to the fact that exposure to the sun contributes to the production of vitamin D, which, in turn, prevents the onset of the disease, and also increases immunity.

Specialists do not encourage parents to take their children by the hand and spend all their free time on the beach, since from an overabundance of ultraviolet radiation another more frightening disease may arise - skin cancer. Sunbathing is desirable regularly, but gradually and at certain times, scientists recalled..

In addition, the researchers added that the use of contraceptives also prevents the emergence of multiple sclerosis in women. Meanwhile, according to statistics, men are less likely to suffer from this disease than women.
