The Physical Benefits of Modesty
According to a UK doctor, it is important to wear long and loose clothing especially in the summer. The doctor states that wearing long and loose clothing makes someone feel less hot on a very hot day. He states that the sun’s rays that attract bare skin will make a person feel hotter because they can physically feel the burning rays touch their skin. The doctor mentions facts about skin damage and why people should wear proper clothing on hot days.
He says: “Sun damage can lead to skin cancer in later life. UVB rays are absorbed by the top layer of skin (the epidermis). This causes sun tanning but also burning. Both UVA and UVB rays increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Getting sunburnt is therefore a warning sign that you are putting yourself at risk.” In other words, he says that sun burning can cause heat strokes as well as skin cancer.
He also says why people should be skin protective: “Cover up the body as much as possible when you are out in the sunshine. Wear wide-brimmed hats with a brim that goes all around the hat to protect the face and neck. These are the areas, most commonly affected by sun damage. Wear loose, long-sleeved shirts) and baggy or loose pants. The material should be tightly woven to block out sunlight. Wear wrap-around sunglasses (your eyes can get sun damage too). Make sure the sunglasses are labelled as providing protection against UV light.” The doctor states that if some part of the body cannot be covered, people should use sunscreen or cover themselves. For example, the head. The doctor suggests wide-brimmed hats. Instead, wearing hijab is better because the hat may not be well-protective.
This is how important it is to fully cover the body. People should also do this in chilly weathers because they might feel cold. Even in spring and fall, people should dress fully and warmly. Wearing tight woven, thick clothing that are long and loose is important in any weather or season. The thickness protects the body from the sun’s rays and the cold, and the lengthiness and looseness protects you from the sun’s rays as well. That’s why it is better to dress modestly than letting a part of your body be exposed to heat or cold.
