New study has been published, which demonstrates the point of getting regular sun exposure and how not getting sun exposure can growth you risk of the very reasons you have been avoiding the sun. Researchers from the Moore's Cancer center at the University of California, San Diego, found that areas with low vitamin D3 levels had a higher risk of colorectal and breast cancers. They thought about that permissible sun exposure could save close to 600,000 cases of breast and colorectal cancers. In addition to preventing breast and colorectal cancers, the researchers ended that addition vitamin D3 levels could prevent diseases that claim close to 1 million lives each year.
Common sense tells us that the sun is the giver of all life and our bodies have relied on it since the starting of time. But the specialist keep telling us that sun exposure will lead to skin cancer, premature aging of the skin and cataracts. How could this be? What should a someone do? Reading this record is the first step to manufacture an informed decision. Many health myths have been spread in today's media driven society. At last these myth become a self evident trust and habitancy react with skepticism to any contradiction to the belief. Please use the mind that God gave you and make the informed choice. You and your family's lives depend on it.
Let's start with some coarse sense. Nobody is recommending that you go out and get burned to growth you vitamin D3 levels. But the coarse myth that all you need is a few minutes on your face and hands, is not enough. You need a large quantum of your body to be exposed to the sun. This means shirt off and shorts, if you are fair skinned you need to start slow in the starting of the spring and build up a base tan. Yes a tan is healthy, this is how nature regulates you vitamin D level. Back before sun screens, habitancy had to use coarse sense such as wear a hat, use an umbrella, minimize exposure until you build a tan. We did this because a sun burn was a indispensable trainer until we got so smart that we industrialized sunscreen to prevent burning. Now we can stay in the sun all day and not build a protective tan.
A small known fact is that most of today's sunscreens safe us from Uvb primarily and to a lesser extent Uva but the label states Uvb Spf of 15 or 30 or 50. Sunscreens do not state the Uva protection and do not even list Uvc. The Uvb rays are the ones that help you build a tan, they are the least penetrating rays. Uva and Uvc rays drill deeper into the skin and can cause more damage. So when you put on sunscreen on and stay out in the sun with no fear of burning and think you are doing the responsible thing, you are causing more damage than if you got under the umbrella. Furthermore, you are preventing the body from doing its job 1) manufacture vitamin D and 2) developing a protective tan. You need to know that the melanin in your skin is capable of protecting you from Uvb, Uva, Uvc and probably some we have not yet discovered.
So use coarse sense when going into the sun; wear a hat,start slow and build up a tan. By getting exposure to your whole body you build some protection when you do go out. You must purposefully make effort to get out in the early spring and take your shirt off when cutting the lawn, or other outdoor activities. Do not overdo it. Remember Uv exposure beyond the minimal dose needed to get a small reddening of the skin is all you need,any more than that will not produce any more vitamin D3 and repeated burning will cause skin damage.
So you may think that I never use sunscreen right? Wrong, I use it, but for the right reasons. I love to surf and as you may guess, setting out on the water on your board exposes you to intense sun rays and I do not like getting burned. But I use 6 block then 4 block and then moderately nothing if I can. Sunscreen has a use and I am thankful to have it. Some are great than others with less toxic chemicals but that is an additional one article. When I do wear sunscreen I am aware that it is not protecting me from cancer and that I have made a selection to stay in the sun longer than my skin is ready for. That is an informed choice.
