I'm surprised that they didn't mention that sunscreen blocks about 99% of vitamin D production. It doesn't seem wise for people who spend most of their time indoors to slather on sunscreen every time they go outside, even for 5 minutes, given their sun exposure is much lower than what is likely healthy. There was also a HN article a few years ago about a dev who said one thing they wish they had known about earlier in their career was was to get more sun exposure, because they were facing osteoporosis later in life.
