Sunlight...Friend or Foe?



  • Health care officials’ recommendations to avoid sun exposure unless you’re slathered in sunscreen have deprived humans of their fundamental need for sunlight

  • Dr. Paul Saladino, author of “The Carnivore Code,” delves into the many reasons why sunlight is so essential it could even be described as a nutrient

  • Nitric oxide is produced in response to UVA, and this leads to vasodilation; there are also beta endorphins produced in your skin when it’s exposed to UVA and UVB

  • Exposure to UV light has benefits to the immune system; it affects cellular differentiation and can improve wound healing

  • Outdoor workers have been found to have a decreased risk of melanoma skin cancer compared to indoor workers; consumption of linoleic acid from seed oils may increase your risk of sunburn and skin cancer

  • The key to gaining the benefits of sunlight while minimizing the risk of sunburn is to gradually build up what Saladino refers to as your solar callus
