Although it is widely known that UVA and UVB rays, whether directly from the sun or in the confines of a tanning booth or bed, can be extremely dangerous when the body takes an excess amount in. With this in mind, there are actually numerous advantages to indoor tanning. First of all, those rays help the body to make a sufficient amount of vitamin D, which is a necessary nutrient used in combination with calcium to keep bones strong. Secondly, the benefit of using indoor tanning units is that you can control exactly how long you will receive those rays, versus being out in the sun and not knowing exactly how strong those rays are and not always being able to get out of the sun immediately.
