kay is sunlight good for U or not???? i'm confused.
Moderation in all things. You need a certain amount of sunlight to produce vitamin D. But too much sunlight can lead to skin cancer. Doctors in England suggest an hour a day in the sun is a good amount. But some people advise you to avoid the sun between 10 am and 2 pm, when it is at its strongest.
