Too much sun is bad for us. Why too little sun could be even worse, in a minute…


Stay out of the sun! No, wait, go lie in the sun. 

A new study says women who never sunbathe during the summer are twice as likely to die as those who do. The research is out of Sweden and followed about 30,000 women over 20years. They found that while avoiding the sun reduces the risk of skin cancer, it also seemed to up the risk of other deadly conditions such as diabetes, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis and rickets.

We all need to let the sunshine in for a healthy balance. Zero or very little exposure isn’t good, nor is overexposure and unprotected sunbathing. Try easing yourself back into the sunny weather by limiting your exposure at the start of the season to avoid burning then protecting yourself with sunscreen and sunglasses glasses all season long.
