Getting adequate sun exposure is important to our health. Start slowly and build up to the level of exposure to the sun that is best for you. Rising rates of skin cancer is causing people to become fearful of getting in the sun. Many health speakers & authors feel that the rise in skin cancer rates we are experiencing is due to a diet that is high in animal & processed fats and low in nutritional value. When the diet is low in nutrients this causes the bodies protective mechanisms to become impaired. Without this natural, internal “God designed” protection, some of the sun’s rays create problems. In our bodies, harmful fats interact with sun exposure in a negative way possibly increasing cancer risk.  Consuming a diet that is high in nutritional value, while eliminating the “bad fats” as much as possible and getting reasonable amounts of exposure to the sun are all steps to improving our overall health.
