Friends, For the last one year or more daily between 12.30 pm and 1.45 pm, I used go out in the hot sun. I used to do small purchases and also chat with friends and acquaintances. Sometimes, I used to wear a cloth hat. Many people used to warn me to avoid this hot time. However, it suited by health perfectly.
But, the last few days, as you know DUE TO CORONA SCARE, we all could not go out. As an alternative, I lay down in the hot sun on my backyard exposing 80% of my body to the sun light. I used to cover my face or head with a damp towel. After ten or fifteen minutes, when I get profuse sweating in my face, I get up.
Then, I put on my special shoes or calipers and go upstairs. Sometimes, I carry a wet towel and sit in the hot sun for a few minutes again. Due to this, I used to get lot of sweating and hence have a quick cold water bath before lunch.
For more than a decade, I am eating calcium tablets with Vitamin D3 for bones strength. And you may know sun light gives us vitamin D. This made me dig about sun bath in google. I culled something useful.

The Safer Sun Bath:
4 Timely Tips for Healthy Sun Exposure
June 2, 2014 (ABRIDGED VERSION)
Although irresponsible sunbathing is unquestionably harmful and precautions need to be taken, regular, moderate, unprotected sun exposure is essential for good health.
It’s free, easy to come by and good for you when handled wisely. It’s also the only reliable way for your body to generate vitamin D, an essential ingredient for optimizing health and preventing disease. ***
And the best way to optimize vitamin D levels? It’s with safe, smart and limited sunscreen-free exposure to the sun.
Used wisely, strategic bouts of sunshine help the skin produce the Vitamin D it needs to build bones, tamp down inflammation, boost the immune system. Better yet, vitamin D and may actually help prevent as many as 16 different types of cancer including pancreatic, lung, breast, ovarian, skin, prostate and colon. ***
Here are a few pointers on how to support your health with sunshine:
Let the Sun Give You Your Vitamin D – And Yes, There’s an App for That
Your age, complexion, where you live, season and what time of day it is, they all affect the amount of sun exposure you need. The farther north you live, the more sun exposure you’ll need to generate vitamin D. ***
Slowly Ramp Up Your Sun Exposure
As the summer brings you outdoors more often, don’t be afraid to expose your skin to the sun, just be sure to build up your tolerance slowly over the course of a few weeks.
Just don’t rush out and sunburn yourself outdoors or in a tanning booth in hopes of quickly getting a “base” tan all in single afternoon.
Learn How to Sunbathe Smartly
***
Set aside some time for short doses of sun-block-free exposure, but if you’ve had skin cancer, check with your doc first.
From there, start with a 5-minute shot of unblocked sun for week 1, every other day; step up to 10 minutes the next week, and 15 – 20 minutes for week 3. To maximize your body’s natural Vitamin D production, build up to 20 – 30 minutes of mid-morning sun without sun block. After your 30 minute max dose, it’s time to start sun blocking.
Sunburns are the Enemy to Fight – Not the Sun
Some sun exposure is good, but get too much and you’re playing with fire.
***
Never fall asleep in the sun without protection
Don’t get fooled by cloudy days – they can burn you just as easily as a sunny one
Protect your skin, particularly if you’re in and out of the water, on a boat or cycling, when the breezes can make you less aware that you’re getting sun burned
Wear a hat, sunglasses and light-colored clothing to block the sun when out for longer periods
When it’s time to apply sunscreen, use one with as few chemicals as possible
