Answers:
Some people are more at risk than others from the sun’s rays. If you’re one of these people you should limit your direct sun exposure. For everyone else, the sun can be good for you.
For most individuals, their vitamin D level is directly linked to the amount of sunlight they receive. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the health of bones and teeth, proper immune function, and energy production.
When UV rays are at their peak (about 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM), you should only get 15 to 30 minutes, three times a week. So, get the majority of your sun exposure before 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM.
Another easy way to increase vitamin D levels is by eating vitamin D-rich foods. The best sources include saltwater fish like salmon and sardines, fish liver oils, wheat germ, nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, and eggs. You can also supplement with Vitamin D., such as Young Living's Master His, Master Hers or Drops of Sunshine by Nature's Way.
Many people still believe sunscreens are the best defense from the sun’s “dangerous” rays. But the truth is that they prevent UVB rays from producing vitamin D3. They also give a false sense of security that promotes overexposure. Finally, the sunscreens themselves can cause their own problems.
Many of the chemicals used in sunscreens and cosmetics to block the sun’s UV rays behave like estrogen.
Estrogen-mimicking chemicals are at least partly responsible for a decline in male sperm counts, more feminine characteristics in males, earlier puberty in young girls, and an increase in hormone-based health concerns.
If you are one of the people in the at-risk group, use light-colored clothing to reflect the sun’s rays. You may also apply a natural sunscreen made from coconut oil. Add some therapeutic grade lavender essential oil for extra protection.
So go slow and be careful, but enjoy the sun this summer.
