AVOIDANCE OF SUN EXPOSURE IS A RISK FACTOR FOR ALL CAUSE MORTALITY
"We found that all‐cause mortality was inversely related to sun exposure habits. The mortality rate amongst avoiders of sun exposure was approximately TWOFOLD higher compared with the highest sun exposure group"
Sunlight exposure and fair skin are major determinants of human vitamin D production, which is crucial for quality of life and now obviously quantity too.
Exposure to sunlight remains the main source of vitamin D.
Sunlight UVB radiation with a wavelength between 290-315 nm penetrates the skin and converts 7‐dehydrocholesterol to 25‐hydroxycholecalciferol vitamin D3 via previtamin D.
Interestingly enough, Low vitamin D concentrations have also been linked to thicker, more aggressive melanomas with shorter survival times.
What this study is showing is something that we intuitively know.
It’s good to get outside, it’s good to get hours of sun on as much skin as possible.
Avoid the hottest and highest-uv parts of the day, but otherwise make sure to be outside as much as you can, shirt off. No sunscreen.
Reducing your intake of polyunsaturated vegetable oils and reducing your inflammation overall will also go a long way to preventing the oxidation that occurs within the skin which causes the skin burning.
If you only have quality animal fats, you will find you can go in the sun
your skin might get red, but overnight you will not burn and peel.
Other sun tips:
- coconut oil on the skin before during and after sun exposure
- Astaxanthin supplementation
- Hydrate always
STOP BEING SCARED OF THE SUN

Let me tell you a story about Sir Roger Bannister.
He was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes
Before Sir Roger, it was the mainstream GLOBAL belief that it was IMPOSSIBLE for the human body to sustain such speeds without breaking down ..
They thought the human body couldn’t physically go that fast – that it would literally collapse under the pressure.
Imagine going against a belief held by EVERYONE.
Everyone telling you that if you did this thing, your body would break down...
and doing it anyway.
"No-one can run a mile in less than four minutes.
It is impossible. You're crazy to even try!"
The 'experts' believed that the record could only be broken on a day with no wind, at 20 Celsius, on a hard dry clay track in front of a huge cheering crowd;
I like to use coconut oil as a ‘conditioner’ applied after a shower to the ends of your hair.
Use a small amount, then work it through with a comb.
Gives a beautiful sheen to your hair while still being a natural product - and then I also dont shampoo often at all.
If you do the occasional shampoo wash, I think you’ll be fine, but make sure to get a natural product.
Lots of toxic shampoos and conditioners made of chemical slop that Seeps into the skin and makes your hair (and you) unhealthy (possible cause of premature balding too!).
BEAUTY AND AESTHETICS 🥂
are so inherently appealing because of the dedication to craft required.
It becomes a finer art, an acute attention to detail and an excess of energy to produce something that is not only functional for whatever it is intended for, but beautiful as well
Anyone could slap together a building - however designing something functional that also blesses the eyes is another task in itself.
Anyone can dress haphazardly - however a curation of outfit takes some level of dedication and knowledge of colour, cut and fit.
It's a result of the human condition. Most people are distracted easily and its hard to dedicate time to a craft.
This is why we value artisanship + mastery of skill.
When most people let themselves go and become slovenly, people appreciate someone that does the opposite.
