Excellent blog post about Sun Bathing being healthy!
"Try getting a little Sun each week, but dont over do it, as this isnt healthy, but a little sun a few times a week is very healthy.
And its that time of year now when the sun shines nearly everyday.
If you sunbathe do it for short bursts of say 10 or 20 mins a few times a day, or if you are used to the sun a bit longer, but becareful not to get sunburnt as this is easily done, like when you see the people walking around on holiday who have been out in the sun all day.
The sun is excellent for health as it triggers vitamin D synthesis in the skin and also supplys a little bit of vitamin D.
The role of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, through promoting calcium absorption, the vitamin D helps to form strong bones and keep them healthy.
The sun is probably the most important way of getting vitamin D as it supplies most of the vitamin D requirements.
So just getting out for a few minutes each day can make a dramatic improvement to health and keeping fit, and it doesnt cost anything either, so far the sun is still free.
I dont bother with sun lotion but i only go out into the sun for short amounts of time, the sun lotion can block out vitamin D, so if you are just sunbathing for hours then use sun lotion, but of you are just in the sun for short amounts of time at a go you probably dont need sun lotion.
I like to get my free sun vitamins so i dont bother with sun cream, but i dont also stay in the sun long enough to get burnt, just do short bursts to build up a gradual healthy tan.
Also there should be some vitamin D in the diet as you might not be always getting enough vitamin D from the sun".
