I just had to post this good news about sunshine.  Gosh, didn't we know
this all along!!  Amazing how the world of health and science tries to
tell us one thing and then finds out that 'maybe they were wrong".

Just a little piece copied here for your interest.

>>"Many people aren't getting enough vitamin D. It's hard to do from food
and fortified milk alone, and supplements are problematic.

So the thinking is this: Even if too much sun leads to skin cancer, which
is rarely deadly, too little sun may be worse.

No one is suggesting that people fry on a beach. But many scientists
believe that "safe sun" — 15 minutes or so a few times a week without
sunscreen — is not only possible but helpful to health."<<

>>"... research suggests that vitamin D might help prevent 30 deaths for
each one caused by skin cancer."<<
