sunlight for your life

All life on the planet and everything in nature depends on the sun. Without the sun, there would be no life on the planet. All life depends on the sun. Plants convert sunlight into energy, and all animals need plant life or other animals in order to live. All life in nature depends on the sun. We as humans are part of nature. We need sunlight like everyone else.

Sunlight is essential to your life and health. This often brings up the concern of skin cancer. People are told that the sun causes skin cancer and that they should use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. This is a great theory about medical symptoms and the disease care profession. Skin cancer is on the rise because people are supposedly spending more time in the sun, and this is supposed “proof” that skin cancer is caused by the sun. Did the experts realize that most cancer cases are on the rise? Does the sun also cause these cancers?

Well, my friends, I have a question for you. How many other bad things are on the rise that people are doing? bundles. Just because the sun hits the skin, the powers that be say that’s the only thing that “causes” skin cancer. They are looking for the only cause and the only cure. Remember, there is no single cause of anything. There are only contributing factors.

In my opinion, it’s not the sun that contributes to cancer, it’s getting sunburned. Most people stay out of the sun for months; then they play weekend warrior and go out in the sun all weekend, often burning themselves. My inside knowledge tells me that it is this burning that is the main contributing factor to skin cancer, not the actual exposure to the sun.

So if you’re not prepared for sunlight and you know you’ll be in the sun for a long time, use a chemical-free sunscreen.

The irony about sunscreen is that what most people use actually contains a chemical known to cause cancer. The FDA says that PABA is a known carcinogen or cancer cause, yet it is found in most sunscreens. How ironic. There are PABA-free sunscreens that use different “new” chemicals. My opinion is that the chemicals that replace PABA will also soon be identified as carcinogens. Just give them time. Even PABA was labeled “safe” by the FDA at first.

My recommendation: get a good chemical-free sunscreen. Many health food stores will have them. Or you can find a place near you that sells them on the web. Avalon Organics is the sunscreen I recommend and use. Unfortunately, they are not available everywhere right now.

The easiest way to get sunlight is to go outside. Go out every day without contact lenses or any type of glasses and expose much of your skin to the sun. For you this might not be feasible, because you live in a place where there is a thing called winter. So an acceptable alternative is to get some quality full spectrum light bulbs for your work and home. These are light bulbs that emit light similar to that of the sun. You can also order them online, full spectrum solutions is the brand I use. But be careful; Not all full spectrum bulbs are created equal. Most full-spectrum bulbs in brick-and-mortar stores aren’t much of an improvement over regular lights.

A fun alternative is to go south during the winter. Go to a place where you can hang out in the sun without glasses or contact lenses, with much of your skin exposed to the sun.

Either way, it needs sunlight year-round to be fully healthy.
