People who plan to spend extended periods outdoors on sunny days should wear sunglasses.
With all the talk about skin cancer caused by sun damage to the skin, it’s not unreasonable to wonder if being in the sun is inherently dangerous. Like many other things, excessive sun exposure can certainly create a risk of premature skin aging, cancerous skin growths, and potentially lethal cancer. However, does that mean we should never walk out the door on a sunny day? The answer to this question is a resounding no, but we must be careful about when and how long we will be in the sun.
A little sunshine can provide all the vitamin D a person needs.
Sunlight gives us an incredible gift, the gift of vitamin D, which we absorb when we are out and about. Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium and translates into strong and beautiful bones. In fact, not getting adequate sun exposure or being out in the sun long enough, especially over a long period of time, can lead to conditions like brittle bones and rickets. Many people drink fortified milk to help get adequate levels of vitamin D.
Sun exposure can be dangerous.
We do not need to spend a lot of time in the sun to get the ideal amounts of vitamin D in our body. Experts say it takes 10 to 60 minutes a week to absorb adequate amounts of vitamin D.

It is certainly not the case that the sun is our enemy; We really wouldn’t be here without your energy. Turns out there may be a little too good when it comes to sun exposure. That’s why it’s so important to wear sunscreen most of the time, as well as hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing that can help minimize sun exposure. Don’t forget that even if you can’t see the sun on a cloudy or foggy day, for example, you can get burned. Sunscreen is just as important these days as it is on sunny days.
