Do you know how much sun exposure is good for you? Is it none, or a few minutes a day? Or are you only safe if you’re wearing sunscreen?
Over
the years sun protection ad campaigns have delivered a message, warning
about the increased risk of skin cancer due to sun exposure,
encouraging all of us to “slip, slop, slap”.
But
now we’re receiving mixed messages, as studies show too little sun has
caused one third of Australians to become deficient in vitamin D, which
is important for the development of healthy bones and muscles.
Youth Reporter Sam Leung looked back to a time when Australia became a country that went to extremes for the sun.
