Wear a hat and a longsleeve cotton shirt if you will be out for a long time....and Stop the sunscreen.
Other times....walk in the sunshine, hum a little tune and smile.
Yep that is what My Dr said.If you use sunscreen you block all the vitamin D s using it and being out in the sun defeats to purpose of the sun in reference to vitamin D.She is a diabetes specialist and says she fears that many more kids will be diagnosed with type1 from the over use of high powered sunscreens since vitamin D deficiency is a major thing with type ones like me.
Probably if you go in the sun when it’s comfortable, get a base tan early in the season and don’t have a skin type that is particularly prone to skin cancer (some people are genetically unlucky) you are ok. I suspect in a natural setting people didn’t strip naked and lay in the sun during the point when the sun was at it’s highest. They probably found some shade and took a little siesta (or did something that could be done in the shade— if they could and went back out and worked when it got a little cooler.
Nothing feels better than a little sun on your skin. I think there’s a reason for that. Of course, when I had mine tested I was extremely low. It took me almost a year to bring mine into the normal range.
