[Rawschool] Outdoors on a cloudy day (WAS: sun-bathing)

[Guest guest]

Hi Mona,

 

Great question! The answer is a qualified " yes " . Daylight in any form is

sunlight. And or

course, the more intense the sunlight, the more there is for our bodies to

absorb. So we absorb

more at noon than at 5 PM, there is no difference other than a matter of

intensity, or degree.

So increasing your outdoor time can be a plus, any time of the year. But sitting

outdoors under

a tree is vastly preferable to sitting indoors under just about anything.

 

The real issue is how much of you is exposed to the light. The more skin you can

comfortably

show, given weather conditions, the better.

FYI, we don't " get vitamin D " from the sun. Rather, sunlight signals a layer in

our skin to

produce vitamin D.

 

So, yes, yes, yes, go outdoors!!!

Elchanan

[Rawschool] sun-bathing

 

Hello everyone.

 

I've been sun-bathing 3-4 times a week for since the beginning of the year, but

now that it's

the rainy season, the sun is only out one or two times a week during the hours I

can sit

outside. Also, sometimes the sun is filtering through the clouds for only a few

moments. My

question is, am I getting any vitamin D when the sun is filtering through the

clouds? How

effective is it? Should I increase my time when it's overcast?

 

Thank you for any information on this.

 

Mona

I've heard that you can stay out in the sun " as long as it feels

good " . I exposed all that the law around here allows and got out

for 35 minutes today until it didn't feel good any more and then I

came in.

depends upon your level of self-awareness. This business of relying on how

things feel ONLY

works to the extent that we are accurate observers of ourselves. In my

experience, well, ....

You might do well to come in WHILE you still feel good. Burning, even a little,

sets you back

more than a few extra days " getting there " will " cost " .

I don't think I was burning. It was after 5 pm.
