How to bask in the sun is healthier?
Compared with China people, Europeans and Americans like sunbathing very much. Many girls are not only desperate for sun protection in summer, but also afraid of seeing the sun in winter, worrying about long spots and dark skin.
In fact, proper sun exposure, rather than exposure, is beneficial to health. Here are some tips for healthy sunbathing in winter:
Tip 1: Turn your back on the sun, not the sun. In winter, you can wear a scarf, properly cover the bare back muscles, and control the sun exposure time for 30 minutes to 60 minutes at a time, so that you will not get tanned and be healthy.
Tip 2: Choose the time to bask in the sun in the morning. The winter sunshine from 8: 00 a.m. to 10 is the gentlest, which is a good time to supplement vitamin D to the body.
Tip 3: Be sure to choose a cool environment to bask in the sun at noon. Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, often basks in the sun near the shopping mall at 1 1 2. He believes that in a day, the sun's yang is strongest at noon, and receiving sunlight at this time can supplement the deficiency of human yang. Yang is sufficient, and all poisons do not invade.
