Q:<\/strong> I\u2019ve heard two conflicting things about sun exposure \u2014 that you should avoid it and that it\u2019s good for you. What should I believe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For decades, many doctors have said that less is more when it comes to sun exposure. Ultraviolet light from the sun can age the skin<\/a> and cause skin cancer, and people can get vitamin D from food or supplements instead.<\/p>\n

But in recent years, some scientists have questioned this thinking after research suggested that moderate sun exposure may, at least in certain contexts, have some benefits. And that vitamin D supplements may not always be a good substitute.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018never go outside without S.P.F. 50\u2019 approach treated sun exposure as if it were universally harmful,\u201d said Dr. Lucy McBride, an internal medicine physician in Washington, D.C. But \u201cmoderate, thoughtful sun exposure,\u201d in accordance with your risk factors, she added, \u201cmay offer benefits we\u2019re still discovering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
