A high sugar level in the blood is one of
the factors in diseases of the heart and
arteries
High blood pressure is one of the major
risk factors for heart disease.
The fact that
exposure to sun light
can reduce
cholesterol, blood
pressure and high
sugar levels,
Proves that:
heliotherapy can be used
effectively in these situations
SUN LIGHT AND CANCER

that as exposure to
sun light increases,
the incidence of
internal cancers
diminishes.
Sun light is capable of fighting cancer by
stimulating the immune system and
