Here’s a follow up to the ‘nothing healthy about a tan’ post.
Vitamin D comes from the sun. How much sun do you need?
10-15 minutes (full body) on a standard UV index of 7 day. (Full body = front and back on the body, arms & legs.)
That’s 30 min in the middle of the day in Dubbo in winter (Max UV index 3)
UV index is here:

This is a very good article on Vitamin D:

“This study showed that the correlation between low ultraviolet radiation and MS was considerably stronger than that between high UV and melanoma.”
