I'm female. In many places, I literally cannot follow your advice without getting arrested.
Additionally, I'm too far north for this to do enough. December days are only 4-5 hours long. If I work a normal first shift, I'd have to do this during my half hour lunch or I'd miss daylight completely... plus the fact that the sun isn't strong enough to give me enough benefits.
Now, the good news: It isn't all bad advice. I had low vitamin D this winter, and felt pretty sick. The doctor's advice once I'm done with my 3-months of prescription vitamins: From September through April, I need to take a supplement. 20IU a day. The rest of the year, I need to be out in the daylight for 15 minutes a day, with at least arms exposed (not just my face). It isn't that one needs their shirt off, just skin exposure. This is quite doable.
