First of all great description of our skin. It’s amazing the way our body is build. It’s amazing the way our scum is build. All these layers, all these cells and yet it’s so fragile.
So every sunray brings with it all these kind of radiations: for the purpose of this post we will focus on Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) which represent 10% of all radiation we get from the sun.
Just hearing word “radiation” sounds scary 😱 right? It even sounds almost like sun is our enemy. The truth is the opposite. As a matter of fact sun is the main factor giving us great amount of vitamin D. Vitiming D is very important for our body. In other words I would even call vitamin D a little soldiers. Litle soldiers that fight against cancerous cells which I was personally impacted by. In North America especially in the United States very low level of vitamin D is one of the main reasons there is so many people impacted by this horrible decease especially melanoma skin cancer. Sun is definitely not our enemy. As you mentioned, as long as you don’t overdo your sun exposure to the point where you get sunburn or even a heatstroke the sun will always be your friend. Avoid sun when it’s most dangerous. I personally try not to get sun exposure between 11am-4pm. If you avoid these things the sun will always be your friend. And of course drinking a lot of water. I personally am against using any suntan or even any sunscreens. In my opinion it’s all chemicals and chemicals harm our body more than our friend sun. But that’s my opinion.
Great article @adsactly!
