and can give you skin cancer. But on the other hand, not
spending enough time in the sun is also bad for you because
sunlight helps us to produce vitamin D. This vitamin is important
for strong bones and a healthy immune system, and it also make
people feel happier. Nowadays, many people don't get enough
sunlight because they wear sunscreen all the time, especially on
their faces. However, don't spend too long in the sun - 15 minute
a day without sunscreen is a healthy amount, and not at midday.
COMPUTER GAMES You probably worry about hov
much time you or your children waste playing computer games.
But in fact some studies show that these games can help us learr
important skills. It seems that computer games stimulate the
brain and that people who often play them are probably better
at solving problems and making quick decisions. But don't
