Exposure to sun is good for you

Ever hear the phrase "stay out of the sun!"? I have and I bet at some point you have as well from your parents or guardians. But many of us now know that decent amounts of sun exposure is actually very beneficial to health.

After all, human civilizations were almost always formed under thousands of years under direct sunlight, so it is presumptuous for us to think that we always need to use sunscreen or sunblock to ensure we don't get "any" sun.

Sun exposure, after all, helps the body produce its own Vitamin K -- think of it (no more supplementation...well, sort of). Seriously though, about 10 minutes of exposure to the sun (as much of your lovely bod as possible) is suggested by many health experts -- even for light-skinned folks.
