That should not be what you rely on for sun protection all day, every day.
The sun is so important.
We need sunlight directly on our skin.
And so when we use our sunscreen, when we go on trips to Hawaii or Costa Rica, we're out in the sun without it for a while before we apply it.
And we also use other things like hats and protective clothing and things like that.
But the sunlight on our skin, I mean,
For sure, like morning, you're getting so many benefits for your circadian rhythm, but midday sun is something that people demonize.
And even like midday sun has so many benefits.
You're getting vitamin D through the UVB rays, which is so important for our immune health.
The midday sun also...
allows your body to produce nitric oxide.
It causes your body to produce all kinds of anti-inflammatory peptides that no one ever talks about.
So I just think there's so many benefits to the sun that we don't even know about yet.
I mean, what we do know is enough to utilize it and take advantage of it, but there's so much that we're still discovering.
It's an underrated pillar of health.
that more people need to be focusing on and of course we need to interact with the sun wisely we don't we shouldn't be dumb about it and go out and burn and just spend endless hours in the sun but we also should not avoid it there was a study done in sweden that followed 30 000 women around over the course of 20 years so significant focus group and significant amount of time and one group
avoided the sun and one group did not avoid the sun.
And what they found at the end of the 20-year study was that the group that avoided the sun had double the all-cause mortality than the group who did not avoid the sun.
They had the same all-cause mortality as pack-a-day smokers.
Yes, I would agree.
