We’ve been taught to avoid the sun at all costs. Is that right?
For decades, many doctors have said that less is more when it comes to sun exposure. Ultraviolet light from the sun can age the skin and cause skin cancer, and people can get Vitamin D from food or supplements instead. But in recent years, some scientists have questioned this thinking after research suggested that moderate sun exposure may, at least in certain contexts, have some benefits. And that Vitamin D supplements may not always be a good substitute.
“The ‘never go outside without SPF 50’ approach treated sun exposure as if it were universally harmful,” said Dr Lucy McBride, an internal medicine physician in Washington, DC. But “moderate, thoughtful sun exposure,” in accordance with your risk factors, she added, “may offer benefits we’re still discovering.”
SUNSHINE HAS A BRIGHT SIDE
It’s undeniable that the sun's rays can damage your skin in ways that result in premature skin ageing and cancer, said Dr Elizabeth Ko, an internal medicine physician at UCLA Health who has written about the health effects of sun exposure. But researchers have also identified a handful of potential, if limited, associations between sun exposure and health benefits.

Our ancient ancestors had a lot of exposure to the sun.
They never lived long enough to develop cancer from it.
If there was no Sun there would be no us
Too much of something can be bad for you. Too little of something can also be bad for you.

No kidding!
Honestly, the arrogance of the medical community in their portrayal of themselves as the end all and be all of all knowledge is staggering. They think they're the final word on health and the human body and over the decades, time and again, have been proved wrong.
Moderation. Who knew?
Up until the 1920’s nobody wore short sleeves and few went without a hat.
This is anecdotal, but I feel energized every time my wife sun bathes outside my office window.
What are doctors good at?
Writing prescriptions!
Here’s a typical conversation I might have with Normies....
Preventative medicine is medical fortune telling.
“No, you’re wrong! It’s based on cutting edge medical technology. It’s much more reliable than a gypsy fortune teller”.
Sorry, but “a more reliable” form of fortune telling is still fortune telling.
ALL the major religions disapprove of people having the desire to see into the future so they can preemptively change their fate. ALL the major religions say that God doesn’t want us to know what tomorrow will bring until tomorrow comes.
“But this is different.... it’s Healthcare!”
Ok, fine. Go to your Healthcare fortune teller and bow down to the Man-Gods of science and technology in your quest for “extra years”. I’m sure there’s a brand annex of a major corporate hospital being built in your neighborhood, that will be more than happy to indulge your morbid curiosities by reading your medical tarot cards and telling you whether or not your “numbers” look good.

Fresh Air and Sunshine are good for you?

Next thing ya know they’ll be mouthing off that clean water and food are healthy too.

It’s my belief that was the cause of my brother’s cancer in his face.
He loaded gravel trucks 5 days a week, 10 hours a day.
It was my thought that the angle of the windshield sided in burning his face
I wouldn't necessarily say *caused* but *contributes to*.
It interferes with Vitamin D production and vitamin D is protective against cancer of all types.
Well, that. Ordering blood tests, I suppose.
If you need a bone set or surgery of some kind, they are trained in it.
But when it comes to something out of the ordinary, FORGET IT! They do not know how to investigate it or treat it outside of their big pharma trained medical procedure.

The sun’s infrared light has benefits not related to Vitamin D production.
