More Vitamin D in your body  helps your bones: Your body produces vitamin D when sunlight shines on your skin. This vitamin D then enables your bones to absorb calcium which makes them stronger and less brittle. This helps against arthritis and osteoporosis.

Good for your mood: Sun exposure boosts the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, which is why you feel better after spending some time in the sun. Light therapy has long been the go-to treatment for seasonal affective disorder and depression.

Vitamin D helps with your immune system: Vitamin D acts like a switch in your body, turning certain genes and processes on or off to help keep you healthy. It travels to many parts of your body: like your bones, intestines, brain, and immune cells, where it connects to special receptors. This connection activates genes that respond to Vitamin D. Having enough Vitamin D helps your immune system work better. It turns on important parts of your immune response that fight off germs quickly, often stopping infections before they start.

Prevents burning: Exposure to UV (in particular UVB) stimulates the production of more melanin in your skin which absorbs the UVA oxidising it to become tanned. The more melanin there is for the UVA to oxidise the less chance here is of it penetrating deep into your skin and burning you. Your tanned skin which is tougher than non-tanned skin also deflects more UV further reducing the chances of burning. 

Vitamin D in your body provides muscle energy: Vitamin D helps your cells make energy by supporting the mitochondria—tiny engines in your cells that use sugar and oxygen to produce ATP, the fuel your muscles need. If your body can’t make enough ATP after exercise, your muscles get tired. Studies show that higher levels of Vitamin D can reduce long-term tiredness and fatigue.
