Sunlight is important for our health, like everything else it needs to be in moderation and with done with due care.  Frying oneself in the middle of the day is not sensible. Early morning and late afternoon  are the best  times

If you spend a lot of time indoors at home or the office it is sensible to reintroduce your skin to the sun slowly and in small doses.

We build our stores of vitamin D by sunbathing, and light consistent sunbathing and or exercise brings about the same results.

 

There rare people on this planet at this time who do not eat food and use sun grazing to energise their bodies. I have met one person had not dated for 6+ years.  I heard a quote recently that there are 300,000 people shoo do not eat food on the planet at this time. If the idea interests you look into sun grazing.

Scientists at the UnIversity of Edinburgh in the UK suggest that the heart-health benefits of sun exposure may outweigh the risk of developing skin cancer.

In the landmark study, the researchers found that when sunlight touches our skin, a compound called nitric oxide that helps lower blood pressure, is released into our blood vessels.

Richard Weller, Senior Lecturer in Dermatology, and colleagues, say the effect is such that overall, sun exposure could improve health and even prolong life, because the benefits of reducing blood pressure, cutting heart attacks and strokes, far outweigh the risk of getting skin cancer.
