Short-term Happiness is No Substitute for Long-term Health
As the clocks go back, we are all faced head-on by the looming prospect of a long, dark winter. The changing seasons have a variety of effects from person to person, whilst even the most exuberant of us may well feel disheartened by the gloom that lies ahead. Winter holidays – “escapes to the sun” – are big business during the winter months, with many of us leaving our shores behind for warmer climes.
However, not all of us can do the same. Whether it is through high cost or work or family commitments, many of us are stuck in the U.K. with the worsening weather. Left behind, there is a temptation to allow pessimism to overcome us and in such an environment it is no surprise that we search for other easier, cheaper ways to achieve the feeling of brightness that a winter holiday brings.
One of the most popular methods is visiting tanning salons to use sun beds, making us appear sun-kissed on the outside. This pleasing aesthetic gives rise to feelings of achievement and wellbeing, but this is only a short-term solution.
Continued use of sun beds sustains the warm glow of tan, but the fact is that one trip to a tanning salon can expose an average person in the U.K. to more UV rays (the harmful rays emitted by the sun) than we are used to in a year. The veneer of the tan is hiding deeper damage that will make the skin appear older. The effects of old age are hastened – blemished skin that is wrinkly and tough – the result of which is that the fading of the tan unmasks the skin damage that lies beneath.
Even this is not the worst-case scenario, for the link between sun beds and skin cancer are well documented. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.K., particularly in England and Wales where there are over 60,000 new cases reported each year. 15% of these cases are diagnosed as malignant melanoma, the most dangerous kind of skin cancer – a 100% increase since 1992.
The high level of sun bed use in the U.K. can certainly be attributed to a psychological feeling of sadness. The short-term relief from this that we accomplish from sun bed use is as artificial as the tan itself. Soon, this positive feeling abates and with depressing weather forecasts worsening daily the temptation to head back to the tanning salon is almost impossible to resist. The solution, however, lies in the mind. This sadness is actually due to a decrease in the production of serotonin in the brain, the chemical that is responsible for regulating our mood. Therefore what we require is not the outward appearance of having spent time in the sun, but the inward feeling of it. This can be achieved through the use of devices such as the sunrise alarm clock, which emits light to aid the production of serotonin. These devices produce far less ultraviolet light than daylight, so although they will not give you a tan they are much safer to use when considering how to tackle the “winter blues”. After all, for long-term happiness the most important thing to safeguard is our health.
