Here are more lies for you.... The sun lotion industry is worth
$5-billion-a-year and guess who is out there voicing about the
suns dangers.
The fact of the matter the dangers of sunlight and the newly
created need for sunscreen are full of hype and hidden
agendas.
And they wont tell you the evidence like this: A recent study
published by the conservative British medical journal Lancet found
that sunscreen does nothing to protect you from melanoma, the most
fatal kind of skin cancer.
And another thing that the industry wont tell you: chemical
sunscreens contain as many as five known carcinogens, two of which
are actually activated by the sun! And anything above an SPF of 8
blocks your vitamin D production by more than 95%. And thats bad
news
The fact is that despite the industrys scare tactics, sunlight is
not only good for you your body needs it. Another shocking fact
you wont hear: Vitamin D is one of your best defenses against
cancer.
Sunlight enables your body to produce vitamin D in high quantity.
And the benefits derived from vitamin D are enormous. Heres a
short list of what vitamin D from sunlight can really do for
you:
* Elevate your mood and boost your mental performance.
* Prevent many types of cancers including prostate, breast and
ovarian.
* Reduce your risk of melanoma, the deadly form of skin
cancer.
* Prevent and treat the bone diseases of rickets, osteomalacia and
osteoporosis.
* Prevent depression and schizophrenia.
* Enhance the function of your pancreas.
* Increase insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes.
* Help you lose weight.
* Make you sleep better.
* Give you more energy and stamina during the day.
* Significantly lower elevated blood pressure.
* Lower abnormally high blood sugar.
* Decrease bad cholesterol in your blood.
* Increase lymphocytic white blood cells responsible for
immunity.
Think about it - Our natural environment is the outdoors. Since the
beginning of humankind until recently we have lived and worked
outdoors in harmony with the sun. The move from outdoor to indoor
living began with the invention of the light bulb in 1879. It was
soon after that that cancer, heart disease, and other degenerative
diseases that our ancestors never experienced became common.
Today, less than 10% of the developed countries population works
outside. This and a lack of cancer fighting nutrients and the
constant exposure to carcinogenic chemicals account for the rise in
sun-related skin cancers. And smearing on more sunscreen isnt the
answer.
