It's unhealthy to be covered up too much.You will get Vitamin D deficiency, which you get mainly from exposure to the Sun ..for example in the super sunny super hot gulf arab countries it has become an epidemic, there are countless programs about it on tv trying to counter it. I know girls here in England who were treated from this deficiency. Its also increasing amongst the Somali communities.There was a programme about this on Universal TV.

i prefer naago asturan who are covered and dressed like muslimahs

[Enlightened~Sista]

burhaan, asturnaata waa wax Islamku nagu amro.Laakin many people go overboard and risk damaging their health.Wallahi waa khatar.

Somali Women have become walking tents. Many of them suffer from Vitamin D deficiency due to lack of exposure to sunlight

I'm not big on hijaab and I could do alot better, but to claim one might get vitamin D deficiency due to covering up is just silly and down right ridiculous.

[Cilmiile]

we get Vitamin D either from food or the reaction caused by Sunlight hitting Skin. If you cover the entire body ... no chance for the sun to work its magic. The situation is even worse for people who cover up in Northern latitudes where the angle of the sun is such that its effectiveness is attenuated. So this Hijaab business is actually suicidal.

timahaaga quruxda badan qarso macaanto. gabar fiican soo ma tihid?

Burhaan, it's non of your business, if I cover my hair or not, just concentrate on your own flaws.

[Warsan_Star_Muslimah]

ES is right, you do get Vitamin D Deficient because of covering up, but regardless of covering up or NOT, in the cold climates, you as a brown skinned person is likely to become Vitamin D deficient. The second problem if you DO NOT cover but are mostly at home, you get Vitamin D deficient. I don't believe for ONE minute that Gulf ladies are Vit D deficient because they cover up, no it is because they don't want to become DARK. In these countries they have large courtyards which they can sit underneath and enjoy the sun, but they simply don't want to.

70's women more natural.

Todays, can't tell how much is the xalimo and how much is from a bottle.

So make-up didn't exist in the 70's miyaa..

The only difference I see is.. The females nowadays are more covered up unlike the ones before..
If seeing more flesh is considered 'natural beauty' than hayee

Am not talking about indha kuul

Diana cream, push up bra, panties with silicone buttocks, fake nails, fake hair.

Where does xalimo begin and where does the sorcery ends

[LeonidaS]

is that a white person on the right hand corner of the picture? the skin complexion doesn't look anything like african iskaba da somali ee ! kkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Enlightened~Sista]

Thanks Warsan I agree 100% with what you said.



so you are most at risk if you

1) cover up this goes for both MEN & WOMEN.
2)lead a sedentary life

3)are brown skinned but if the sun is hot enough like in Africa then you're fine.


Warsan ..tinting the windows of cars is very common in the gulf..but i don't blame them the sun is unbearable in that part of the world.

Vitamin D is very essential to being healthy, both physiologically and mentally. Its mostly free and abundant. The sun provides the vast bulk of it and for people of darker skin, its even more crucial to get as much sun as possible. All a person really needs is a few minutes of sunlight a day and the skin makes the vitamin D, which the body then absorbs and utilizes as needed. Some researchers have documented that exposure to the face, hands and feet is enough, because baring the skin to the sun's rays can mean risking melanoma (skin cancer). Covered women could probably get by just fine provided they go out and stay out in the sun for a few minutes a day. Everything done in moderation is something done right.
