There are not many people, especially here in the sun-starved UK, that do not enjoy a nice day at the beach or even a relaxing picnic out in the country. Sunshine is actually good for us, as scientists have proven that even just 15 minutes a day can provide just about everybody with the appropriate dose of vitamin D. In fact, it appears that sunshine is in fact the best source of vitamin D for us. Taking extra vitamin D tablets does not provide any real additional benefit.

It probably comes as no surprise that sunshine is in fact good for us. Just about everybody gets a sense of energy from being outside in the sunshine, even if just for a little while. But it is also important to remember that too much of a good thing is in fact not a good thing at all. Especially for many of us here in the UK, who are fair skinned by nature, prolonged exposure to sunshine can cause some nasty burns which can be painful and not look very appealing. It is therefore important to pay close attention to how much time one spends in the sun, as well as making sure that they take all the necessary cautions to remain safe.
