This clip shows Dr. Joseph Mercola sharing tips on how to enjoy summer safely. One way is to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, but wisely. Dr. Mercola endorses modest sun exposure as a great way to get Vitamin D, which reduces cancer risk. After modest exposure, apply a safe, non-toxic sun product that blocks harmful UVA radiation.

Mercola advises against using sun products that contain a toxic chemical called OMC. Another tip is to avoid mosquito sprays that contain DEET - a known brain cell killer. Dr. Mercola is a physician and journalist who has written two New York Times best selling books. He also pens a newsletter that boasts over a million subscribers.

Key Sun Safety Tips:

• Sun exposure produces Vitamin D (this is good)
• Use products that block UVA
• Avoid sun products made with OMC
• Avoid mosquito sprays that contain DEET
