4 ways to make the most of the sun this summer

( Natural News ) Summer is a season that doesn’t seem to last long enough for many of us, so when the sun is out and it’s hot, you definitely want to make the most of it. However, this can lead to inappropriate exposure and we end up cursing the sun for our short-sightedness in preparing ourselves to enjoy it safely and effectively. The good news is once you understand how to bask in the sun and harness all the health benefits it offers, you’ll find the overall experience much more enjoyable. With that, here’s four ways to make your summer the best one yet! Get acclimated It’s totally understandable that the minute it gets nice out that you want to run out in the sun all day and bask in the glory of those rays. Unfortunately, that sudden exposure is a shock to your skin and many times you’ll find yourself burnt and frustrated. When acclimating yourself to the sun, start in the spring and create a protective tan with phased in exposure. Melanin, the tanned skin pigment that is created with slow and steady exposure in spring, prevents sunburn in the summer. Melanin transforms 99.9 percent of absorbed UV radiation into heat that is easily dissipated, and helps you effectively avoid radiation damage that can cause cell damage. So when you start, tan in the early morning until solar noon, exposing at least your arms and legs without sunblock for at least 15 minutes. Use the heat and color of your skin as a guide to cover up when required. If you do burn, applying aloe vera with a drop of peppermint, lavender , or seabuckthorn will offer soothing relief and healing.
