Skip the sunscreen...sometimes.
It may sound sacrilegious but skipping sunscreen for brief periods of time can be good for you. How? Sunshine stimulates your skin to synthesize vitamin D, which may help ward off osteoporosis and other diseases, including certain common cancers. In fact, people under age 65 can get a year's supply of Vitamin D in most parts of the United States by going outdoors without sunscreen for several minutes between midmorning and midafternoon a few times a week during the spring, summer, and fall. If you're older or overweight, have darker skin, or live far north, you may need somewhat more exposure. Don't overdo it, though. Too much sun exposure can cause certain cancers.
