Sun is good for you, just not to much.

Why it was good for you years and years ago.. because back then we had an ozon layer that was whole and protected us.

The reason why in other countries they can stay longer in the sun? Because they have different pigment in their skin that protects us.

Even there they don´t stay in the sun to long. That is where the "siesta" in spain comes from. Better to have 2 hours of lunch between 2 - 4 so you don´t have to be in the sun. Many countries with warmer climates have the same type of "protection" in place.
