As someone who spends alot of time outside(as much as I can while still working!) and also takes 5000iu of vitamin D, I just wanted to say there is moderation in everything. Getting too much sun can lead to skin cancer so make sure you are wearing sunscreen.
- dagw 3y agoI worked on a project related to modelling UV and skin cancer rates. And what I learnt there is that that big thing that causes skin cancer isn't so much total UV exposure over a year, but a sudden switch for long periods of no sun to a period of intense sun. You see this especially in the Nordic countries where it isn't uncommon to go from 4 month of getting essentially no sun to 10 days of spending 10 hours a day in a bathing suit on a beach in Thailand or Bali.
