How to bask in the sun

"Sunshine is a treasure, and basking in it is good for your health." Sunbathing is good for health, but many people don’t know that only by sunbathing in the right way can the health benefits be achieved. Don't dry through glass. Studies have shown that less than 50% of ultraviolet rays can penetrate through glass. If the distance from the window to the window is 4 meters, the ultraviolet rays are less than 2% of those outdoors. So sunbathing through glass is actually useless. It is better to selectively go to some green areas. Now let’s take a look at how to sunbathe.

1. When sunbathing, it is not effective to cover the glass. It is best to be outdoors and expose your skin to the sun. This is the correct way to let your skin come into direct contact with the sun. At the same time, you should pay attention to protecting your eyes. Do not read books or use mobile phones under strong light.

2. The time of sunbathing is also very important. Generally speaking, 6 to 10 in the morning and 4 to 5 in the afternoon are the best times to sunbathe, because during this period, infrared rays are strong and ultraviolet rays are weak, which will cause less damage to our skin. In summer, 4 to 5 o'clock may still be quite hot, so you can postpone it appropriately.

3. When you are sunbathing, you should expose your back, hands, feet and legs more. Sunbathing your hands, feet and legs can increase calcium absorption and make your bones stronger. Sunbathing your back can drive away the cold.

4. You only need to stay in the sun for 15 minutes a day. It should not be too long. When the ultraviolet rays are strong, try to stay in the sun as little as possible to avoid damaging your skin.

5. For different groups of people, there are different requirements for sunbathing. First of all, for pregnant women, because it is also necessary to enhance the baby's calcium absorption, they should sunbathe for at least half an hour a day in summer, and at least one hour a day in winter, so that both pregnant women and babies can get enough calcium; for children, they are in the stage of growth and development, and they should pay more attention to sunbathing every day; the elderly are also the focus of calcium deficiency, so it is also necessary to sunbathe every day.

The above briefly describes how to sunbathe. It is not advisable to eat mustard greens, purslane, amaranth, and figs before sunbathing. So as not to cause photosensitivity drug rash or solar dermatitis. Drinking more water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and supplementing vitamin C after sun exposure can inhibit the production of melanin. In normal times, you must pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits and do not smoke or drink.
