Don't want cancer? Go ahead and soak up the sun:

As after the long time research, it has been proven that the
greater exposure of the skin to the sunlight results in the lower risk of the
cancer. As this fact has proven after the research from the 172 countries of
the world. 
The exposure to the sunlight proves beneficial for our body.
When human skin is exposed to the sunlight, the some of the hormones and the
enzymes present in the human body becomes activated. The largest benefit of the
exposure to the sunlight
results in the production of vitamin D in the human body. During the exposure to the sunlight, the melanocytes in the human body starts producing melanin. The more production of melanin results in the darker skin.Less exposure to sunlight results in many diseases such as lack of vitamin D, increases the risk of cancer such as leukemia, which is the type of blood cancer than equatorial people.

As the research has shown that the people living at the
higher altitudes are at greater risk of the diseases caused with no or less
exposure to sunlight. No doubt people living at higher altitudes are usually
white people, this is because of their less exposure to the sunlight. They are
at higher risk of developing cancer, they face the lack of vitamin D and less
production of melanin by melanocytes.
Cedric Garland, adjunct professor at University of
California, San Diego School of Medicine in the US says: ‘’These results
suggest that much of the burden of leukemia worldwide is due to the epidemic of
vitamin D deficiency we are experiencing in winter in populations distant from
the equator.’’
People living in the area closer to the poles or at high
altitudes are at greater risk of developing cancer than the people at lower
altitudes.
The striking of the UV rays with the body results in the
production of large amount of vitamin D because sunlight triggers the synthesis
of vitamin D.
In the end, it is concluded that the less exposure of the
skin to the UV rays of the sun results in the higher risk of cancer and other
diseases such as lack of vitamin D. Similarly, the more exposure to the
sunlight saves us from many health hazardous diseases.
