It's true that the sun's rays, in high amounts, isn't good for your skin. But more and more research is proving that getting just 10-15 minutes of direct sunlight a day can be one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself.
Literally, just getting out of the house, the studio, whatever and walking around in the yard or down the street on a sunny day for just 10-15 minutes can give your body enough vitamin D to ward off a whole host of diseases.

In fact, vitamin D deficiency has been named by top experts as one of the main contributing factors for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, psoriasis, rickets, schizophrenia, tuberculosis and more. And yes, vitamin D3 supplements do help, bu it's not the same as the form of vitamin D produced when the sun hits your skin and your body produces it.
And it's not just vitamin D that sunlight helps with. A little sunlight each day helps with better sleep, more positive attitudes due to increased levels of serotonin (your brain's happy chemical), protection from autoimmune diseases, and even reducing or preventing Alzheimer's symptoms.

And with us musicians inside all the time, playing all night and sleeping all day, we're REALLY prone to vitamin D deficiency and this could be why a lot of musicians end up with health problems--other than some other more 'obvious' causes.
