Practice sun bathing As skin type, previous sun exposure, time of day and geographical location are determining factors for how much exposure is healthy, it is recommended that you download and use the DMinder App which may support you in this process. Ronit Mor, NDAbout The Efficacy And Safety Of Sunscreens
Are you aware that the FDA itself says it is “not aware of data demonstrating that sunscreen use helps prevent skin cancer”? According to the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) 11th Annual Sunscreen Guide, there are currently more than 880 beach and sport sunscreens, 480 moisturizers and 120 lip products with SPF but the surprising truth is this: beyond the knowledge that sunscreens prevent sunburns, little else is known about the safety and efficacy of sunscreen lotions and sprays. Ronit Mor, NDSunlight Is Necessary On Every Level Of Life
Although most of the health-promoting benefits of sun exposure are thought to occur through vitamin D photosynthesis, there are other health benefits that have gone largely overlooked in the debate over how much sun is needed for good health. Ronit Mor, NDThe Sunshine Vitamin
Perhaps the most well-known contribution sunlight has to our well-being is triggering Vitamin D synthesis. The term “vitamin D” refers to a group of fat-soluble compounds that serve as hormone precursors to the active form of vitamin D, called calcitriol. One form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), found in fish, egg yolks, and cheese, and synthesized in the skin of humans and animals. At least 1,000 different genes governing virtually every tissue in the body are now thought to be regulated by D3, the active form of the vitamin, including several involved in calcium metabolism and neuromuscular and immune system functioning. Another form, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), is synthesized by plants, such as mushrooms, and is the form most often used to fortify foods such as milk. Ronit Mor, NDThe Most Overlooked Wellness Essential
The role sunlight plays in our health is a major factor in restoring optimal vitality. Sunlight - nature’s full-spectrum light - is the most overlooked wellness essential. Without the sun, there would be no life on this planet. Our physiology, metabolism, cognitive and emotional abilities are all affected by the sun’s activity. Research shows that our genes are programmed to respond to exposure to full spectrum light. Sunlight is critical for the healthy development, growth and maintenance of our body and mind. It contributes to increased cell function, metabolism, detoxification and healthy levels of cortisol and melatonin, which balance our sleep and energy levels. |
