Forget about all the propaganda telling you to cover up your skin from the sun and slather on chemical sun blocks. The sun plays an enormous roll in keeping your immune system healthy. Of course there are limits to how long you should expose yourself, but every single day you should strive to get about 15 minutes (depending on skin color) of strong sun-light on as much exposed skin as possible. Actually the 15 minute recommendation is to people in bathing suits, so adjust accordingly. Also, leave the sun immediately once your skin starts to turn pink.

So do any of you make an effort to get some sun on your skin everyday? I do, but it rained today so I didn't gonk Also, I've read that washing basically washes the vitamin D making stuff off your skin. So shower first, then sit in the sun stressed

During the summer I get plenty of sun exposure, being a farm boy. With the exception of winter the rest of the year isn't much of a problem either.

So because of which, I am very pale...

You in Washington too May?
I used to hate outdoorsy crap when I was younger, but now that I don't enjoy videogames and have unplugged from Television. I LOVE ALL THE OUTDOORS!
(snow is tolerable only because it's part of the natural cycle of life and water otherwise I'd hate it...)

you could always try vitamin D suppliments/tablets.
that's what we take here, especially during flu season (we REFUSE to EVER get a flu shot of any kind, for obvious reasons.).
they work really well. i take at least 5 a day.

Take into account the pros and cons of slathering chemicals on your skin. IMO, if you know you are going to be in the sun for a LONG period of time (like 45 minutes + or 30 minutes + if you burn easily) then go ahead and wear the sunscreen. You don't want to get burnt. Short bursts of sun throughout the day should not require sunscreen. I thought that SPF 50 etc, blocks out UVA and UVB rays, which when in contact with your skin, "grows" the vitamin D hormone. I'd assume the sunscreen would interrupt this process but I don't know for sure, sorry.

UV Radiation is a Soft Kill in and of itself. Increasing Skin Cancer much?
This is just fine and dandy for non-whites (they don't tend to get sunburn and skin cancer much) but for white people, it sounds like a choice between skin cancer or slight vitamin deficiency (which could be replaced by adding more Vitamin D to your diet, no? Most milk now has extra vitamin D in it.)

Sciamancer UV Radiation is a Soft Kill in and of itself. Increasing Skin Cancer much? This is just fine and dandy for non-whites (they don't tend to get sunburn and skin cancer much) but for white people, it sounds like a choice between skin cancer or slight vitamin deficiency (which could be replaced by adding more Vitamin D to your diet, no? Most milk now has extra vitamin D in it.) unless your milk is raw, milk is NOT what you should be looking towards for vitamin D.. despite the growth hormone, it's also filled with vitamin A.. which cancels out the vitamin D. 10 or 20 minutes in the sun will benefit you far more than it will hurt you. our people for thousands of years have lived on earth and spent their days outside in the sun. this skin cancer talk is fear mongering. you are likely to get cancer from many other things before you get skin cancer from the sun (hell, you think slathering chemical sunscreens is safer to your health than the sun???). but yes, if you stay out for more than 20mins the cons start to out weigh the pros. just watch your skin, as soon as you see any signs of pink, leave the sun immediately. and if you can't, or just refuse to get sunlight, then take vitamin D pills.
