understanding the danger of tanning beds
When it comes to getting a tan in a tanning bed, there
is much controversy. For starters, people across the
country have been building golden tans for several decades.
While a tanned body is attractive, the problem is that
there are also many tanning bed dangers, some that people
know of and some that are hidden. Today, tanning salons account
for a $5 billion a year industry that just keeps on growing.
If you were to look at commercials, magazine advertisements,
and many high society people, you see toned and tanned bodies.
However, all of this is merely portraying a false sense of
health and beauty. In truth, tanning beds are very dangerous,
causing burns, suppression of immune systems, damage to the
cornea, cosmetic and drug-induced photosensitivity, and a higher
risk of developing melanoma cancer.
Because there are no laws governing the use of tanning beds,
people are free to use them as long and as often as they like.
Keep in mind that the majority of tanning salons do have
restrictions about usage but these are rules set up by the salon,
not the government. Sadly, we see teenagers having restrictions
on them for smoking cigarettes, which cause cancer, yet the
tanning bed that has also been proven to increase the risk of
cancer has no such structure.
The bottom line is that every person interested in developing
a tan via indoor tanning needs to have a full understanding of
tanning bed dangers so they can
make educated and safe choices.
For example, most tanning beds release very high and dangerous
levels of ultraviolet radiation, which has been shown through
massive testing to cause premature aging while increasing the
risk of skin cancer.
Additionally, using indoor tanning on a short-term basis commonly
causes itchy, dry skin while long-term use causes wrinkled and
sagging skin. Making things more difficult is the fact that
many people also take tanning accelerants as a way of speeding
up the tanning process. However, these accelerants contain
tyrosine derivatives and amino acid tyrosine, both which are
ineffective and have the possibility of being dangerous.
Even so, manufacturers push these products while the Food and
Drug Administration has not approved them.
Without doubt, tanning beds have become an extremely popular
option for maintaining a tan throughout the year. Just remember
that in exchange for the golden glow, the body is negatively
affected. In fact, because tanning beds emit from 50% to 100%
the amount of UV rays than from natural sunlight, you would be
safer lying out on the beach for a few hours. If you want to
tan, be wise about the amount of time spent and the frequency
of using indoor tanning beds.
