i work under the sun 8 hours
>and not screw up your skin
faggot

>40%of your skin exposed
What? I'm supposed to stop my day and get mostly naked under the sun just for this? Easier to just take vitamin d supplements lmao

>and not screw up your skin

enjoy looking like you're 60 when you're 40 you alligatorskinned fuck

Reminder that you won't produce vitamin d if you're indoors behind a window

My eyes have always been really sun sensitive, on a nice day I often can't look up further than straight ahead without becoming Chinese. I try to get as much sun as I have time for but I take 50micrograms of D3 every night to make sure.

All jokes aside i do the same thing on my balls, penis and asshole. sunlight is a natural disenfectant and anti fungal. It helps my jock itch. But I also live on a farm so i can easily dk that..

Push mower your lawn shirtless, wear sunscreen so you don't get burned (if you're actually white, I burn almost instantly)

Just buy when on sale, it's what I do.

eat enough carotenoids

Why would you subject yourself to skin cancer?

1. AVOID THE SUN
2. Take 5k-10k IU of vitamin D
3. Have blood work done twice a year and adjust vitamin D intake accordingly

This is it. You should never seek the sun if you want to preserve your skin. Importantly, tanning itself makes it harder to synthesize vitamin D, and an absurd portion of people who are outside frequently in sunny areas still are insufficient in vitamin D. You simply can't rely on sun exposure to generate vitamin D and as sun exposure itself ages the skin it really needs to be avoided.

Nice info, user. I think I'll take this approach.

>3K UI vit D daily

This is utter bullshit. Avoiding the sun all the time is rediculous and unnatural.

Doesn't mean you should always tan and get leathery but you NEED sunlight, only pasty Jewish sunscreen salesmen say otherwise. And if you avoid it constantly then accidentally find your self over exposed, you're fucked.

>rediculous and unnatural.

And because it's unnatural it must be bad? Are you dense?

The optimal behavior that produces the best outcome isn't necessarily the "natural" one.

There's absolutely nothing essential from the sun that can't be obtained otherwise.

There's absolutely nothing that says sun exposure is somehow essential for vitamin D production.
Oh and derp, wow Australia so much vitamin D! 1 in 4 white Australians will develop melanoma. That's a dumbshit strategy.

Big man wrong because science says so.

>gets btfo

Sounds about right.

How do you get enough sun exposure in daily life? I use sunscreen on my face and I have nowhere to expose 40% of my body without people on other buildings staring at me.

the f word? really dude?

No one is disputing sun exposure causes vitamin D production derp. But there are better sources of vitamin D that won't age your skin.

Take vitamin D supplements. You'll be able to raise your vitamin D levels far higher than modest sun exposure ever could and do so consistently year-round

>Not flexing on the sun naked while other people are forced to watch

Not going to make it.

1 tin of sardines has 50% rda vitamin D

I take a 60,000iu pill once every week.

Based brainlet

Yeah except that's dumb. The RDA is woefully low for maintaining optimal vitamin D levels. 400IU, 800 IU is really not enough for most people. A supplement of 3k, 5k, 10k+ IU over several weeks to months is going to be needed to move up and maintain levels.

How do you know the daily dosage of vitamin d supplements you should take?

depends what your baseline is, if you're already low then take 5-10k IU for a few months, if you just want to maintain then 1-3k is fine, under 500 are meme dosages, >40k IU are entering toxicity levels but you should never have to get anywhere close to that

Does the skin make vitamin D whatsoever if you're outside on a cloudy day? I'm happy to go outside regularly but I live in the UK and it's not very often we get a day that isn't cloudy

Go outside but dont get a sunburn...? You people here are so fucking autistic no surprise 90% here are virgins

>Imagine being this autistic
Life must be really hard for you

Basically this.

1. Get tested
2. Take some amount of vitamin D if needed for two months or so.
3. Get tested
4. Adjust accordingly

There's a huge amount of individual variation in vitamin D metabolism so the amount that works best for you is going to vary. 5k-10k is a good amount to take to build up levels. You could probably do 20k if you wanted to and just test more aggressively.

Personally I need 5k a day to maintain 50ng/ml, but I'm sure 1k-3k will be fine for some

Ultraviolet radiation is a carcinogen that also compromises skin appearance and function. Because the ultraviolet action spectra for DNA damage, skin cancer, and vitamin D3 photosynthesis are identical and vitamin D is readily available from oral supplements, why has sun protection become controversial? First, the media and, apparently, some researchers are hungry for a new message. Second, the controversy is fueled by a powerful special interest group: the tanning industry. This industry does not target the frail elderly or inner-city ethnic minorities, groups for whom evidence of vitamin D3 insufficiency is strongest, but rather fair-skinned teenagers and young adults, who are at highest risk of ultraviolet photodamage. Third, evolution does not keep pace with civilization. When nature gave humans the appealing capacity for cutaneous vitamin D3 photosynthesis, life expectancy was

i came across an article on pubmed that essentially said this, but the question is, how the hell do you figure out how much "1/2 time it takes to begin to burn" (i.e. 0.5 MET)

Reminder to balance your vit D with A & K and increase minerals.. !!

The amount of UVB that clouds block depends on their formation, in some cases the exposure can even increase. UVB rays are responsible for the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin.
Almost all fabrics will block at least a third of UV and very often only transmit a few percent of the total radiation. The exact figure depends on the thickness of the fabric, the material used and how reflective it is. Synthetic materials block more of the UV, shiny fabrics tend to reflect more of the UV.

Sunfags are retarded and bluepilled. All the arguments listed in that infographic are very likely only due to income inequality which simply leads to poorrer quality of life and less time to spend on yourself or have leisurely activities outside.

Good post, user

foods rich in vitamin A and C prevent sun damage. most of the people you see looking like prunes at a young age from the sun all eat like shit. like if you down energy drinks, sodas and fast food the sun will fuck you up as you are defenseless.

See this:In short, you can't figure it out. Stay the fuck out of the son and get vitamin D orally

In what way?

You're supposed to take Vitamin D in conjunction with Vitamin K, right? I've heard some stuff about vein calcification if you take too much Vitamin D without the K offsetting it
