Sunbathing 'Slows Ageing Process'

Sunbathing may prevent aging internally, but it sure speeds it up externally.

I recall my first trip to Canada ( I was brought up in S. Fla.for comparison.)
One of the things that struck me was the beautiful complexion on women in their 60s and 70s.
I was used to the alligator skins on South Beach.

You are pure evil. I’m going to have nightmares.:)

yikes, imagine if she was next to you on the beach and asked, “Hey mister can you rub some oil on my back?”

[mamelukesabre]

I can’t figure out that bathing suit. The string across the back seems to indicate a top to a bikini. Yet there doesn’t seem to be any breasts and the string seems to go around to the lower belly area. What is that string? Surely there are not breasts on the person’s belly?!!

uH.....not just yet.......

Man, I wish these scientists would make up their minds!

Almost everything they come out & tell you is bad - they eventually come out & say, well maybe it isn’t that bad after all.

My grandmother has been right all along - she said everything is OK in moderation.

When you get to be that age, they tend to head towards the waist... or the ankles...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hey, don't you just wanna hit dat ?

Yes but what it doesn’t say is that you get a sufficient amount of Vitamin C in just a few minutes each day (like walking to your car or across the parking lot).

I seriously doubt that, especially in northerly regions where people wear lots of clothes and sunlight is less intense, esp. in the winter. The ancestors of those of us who are honkies had to evolve pale skins to increase the effects of limited solar input in their boreal habitat, even though they were outdoors more than most people are today.

Yeah, but then how would they get all that grant money? We're talkin' job security, ya know.

[Blue Highway]

I think that’s what happens when you’re 80 and gravity hits.

Good point.

And too much sun gives you a fatal melanoma.

Timing is everything, I guess!

...and how’d you like to be the person who gave Great-Great-Great-Grandma a Brazilian ?

I think she untied the string around her neck so that she could get some topless sun exposure. Ewwwww

Yes but what it doesn’t say is that you get a sufficient amount of Vitamin C in just a few minutes each day (like walking to your car or across the parking lot). Sunbathing for hours isn’t necessary to obtain it.

Sorry, is that "C" or "D"?
