A family medicine physician at the Cleveland Clinic is stressing the importance of soaking in the sun for your health.
Doctor Neha Vyas emphasizes that the sun is the main source of vitamin D which helps bone health, immune function and has other benefits.
Sunlight can also improve someone's mood by boosting feel-good chemicals in the brain. However, Vyas stresses the importance of wearing sunscreen and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
She recommends consulting with the doctor to see how much sun exposure is appropriate
