Tanning comes with many health and mind risks, just as with others emergency aid efforts.
According to Medical News Today a new study shows that the brains of people who say they're addicted to tanning act a lot like those of alcoholics and drug addicts. Maybe tanning rehab centers should be opening close to beaches nationwide.
If it's rewarding, then could it also be addictive, Dr. Bryon Adinoff says.
Researchers measured tanner's brain activity twice, once with ultraviolet radiation, and once using UV-blocking filters. Participants didn't know whether they were getting real UV radiation.
Scientists have assessed the effects of a commercially available tanning bed upon regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), a measure of brain activity, using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
The subjects demonstrated a relative increase in rCBF of the dorsal striatum, anterior insula and medial orbitofrontal cortex, brain regions associated with the experience of reward.
According to a pilot study Addiction Biology these changes were accompanied by a decrease in the subjective desire to tan.
The researchers saw that real UV rays changed tanners' brain activity and blood flow in ways that mimicked what is seen in addicts.
No suprise
If people have no light inside, they are doing what anything to get it into their minds.
Where can a person then receives the light of life? Waking up is needed,
It´s a long way to go.
Just the first: by acting ethically (and ecologically) sustainable shares all.
