Most
sunbathers think nude sunbathing is perfectly
natural and don't mind crossing paths with
bottomless beach-goers -- even when those bottoms
are unsightly, survey results released Sunday
said. While topless sunbathing is widely practiced
in Italy, bottoms are usually required and nudists
can face fines of more than 500 euros ($595) on
some beaches, the Italian Naturalist Federation
said. But the federation said a poll it
commissioned from a mainstream media outlet found
nearly 70 percent of those surveyed said they
would sunbath nude if everyone else did it. More
than 80 percent said nudism was not erotic, but
natural. Women were more frequently bothered by
nude sunbathing than men. Just over 40 percent of
women said they did not like seeing other naked
females on the beach, while just 5 percent of men
shared their opinion about nude women. The survey
found nearly two-thirds of men said they weren't
bothered by nude male sunbathers. When it came to
unattractive or "brutto" sunbathers, most of those
surveyed in the country that champions physical
beauty said they didn't object to seeing them
naked either. Only about 16 percent said they were
vexed by unattractive women nudists and 9.7
percent objected to unsightly men. The Federation
said the survey would bolster their hopes of
getting more beaches set aside for nude
sunbathing.
Sunbathing nude prevents those nasty tan lines and
allows the entire body to benefit from the
positive effects of the sun!
NO
TAN IS A HEALTHY TAN, say most dermatologists.
They cite dozens of studies that link sun exposure
to premature wrinkles, cataracts, and skin cancer.
To prevent these problems, some recommend that you
avoid the sun as much as possible and slather on
sunscreen whenever you go out, even if you're only
going out for a few minutes. But the sun doesn't
just have a dark side. "Anybody who tells you
you're supposed to wear sunscreen in the winter
all day every day, even in the office, hasn't
looked at the data," says Marianne Berwick, Ph.D.,
a researcher and epidemiologist at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. In
fact, research shows that sun exposure is
necessary for good health; it boosts your mood,
strengthens your bones, and may lower your risk
for certain cancers, among other benefits.
The sun helps
your body make vitamin D, and you can thank this
nutrient for most of the sun's health benefits.
You can get vitamin D by eating foods like
fortified milk and fatty fish and by taking
supplements. But many experts believe the sun is a
better source of D because your body may not
absorb an adequate amount of this nutrient from
foods or supplements. But you won't get enough
vitamin D if you go out in the sun wearing
sunscreen.
