Question

Why should we cover our bodies while going out in the sun?

Answer 1

Precautions under the sun:

1. Short exposure to sunlight helps our bodies to produce vitamin D which is helpful for absorbing calcium for maintaining strong bones.
2. However, when our skin is exposed to the sun for a longer period of time, it can cause harmful effects.
3. The UV rays from the sun can actually damage or even kill the skin cells and even mild sunburn can destroy the top layer of skin.
4. The harmful UV rays can also cause skin cancer.
5. Therefore, we should always cover our bodies by using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing while going out in the sun
