Roger Seheult, MD, will present “Sunlight and Chronic Disease: Time to Take This Fight Outside” on Tuesday, June 3, at noon via Zoom. This webinar is part of the Olson Center for Women’s Health and UNMC College of Nursing webinar series.
Dr. Seheult is the co-founder of MedCram and is an associate clinical professor at the University of California Riverside School of Medicine and School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Sunlight is considered good for the body because of vitamin D. While this is true, there are many other benefits to sunlight, according to Dr. Seheult, who says new quality evidence is emerging that light on the other side of the spectrum (infrared light) has benefits for the body in terms of chronic disease, diabetes, immunity and longevity. His presentation will review the scientific evidence for sunlight and chronic disease.
