I gave up my sunglasses and sunscreen a year ago! Outdoor workers have a very low incidence of skin cancer. One theory, by light expert, Leanne Vernier, is that they are out in the early morning sun when red wavelengths are strong. The red light protects the skin from harmful UV rays.
Did you know the body cannot utilize vitamin D in supplemental form if you don't also get the natural UV rays from the sun?

good point.
also wearing sunscreen we are blocking UV rays which lead to vitamin D defitiency
And our car windows? UV blocked.
Unbelievable!
It's so sad that we now have to make conscious choices to get our daily sun! Jeez!
Right. Like so many books about "nature deficit disorder" and advising "play-based" learning.
Seems crazy to have to plan time outside and to remember to let kids play!!
ooh im going to have to google NDD- I definately have to fight to avoid it making my living on the internet
That is so true :)
Wow that is amazing! No i didn't know that, another reason to jump outside in the beautiful sun without the sunglasses and sunscreen. :D
