"For every death caused by diseases related to excessive sun exposure ā such as melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer ā there are 328 deaths caused by diseases of sunlight deprivation"
Upon listening to this podcast a couple of years ago, I did go out and buy "Embrace the Sun". It gets a little repetitive throwing research and statistics at you, but it is important information regarding using the SUN to help gain optimum health...and perhaps eliminate lingering ailments or chronic conditions.
I DO use a zinc oxide sunscreen, with a fairly clean ingredient list, if I'm going to be out in the sun more than 3+ hours...and I'm often out there 5-6 hours as a tennis teaching pro. In those cases, I'll also wear a wide brim hat with SPF protection as well as long sleeves. Otherwise, I go unprotected...and never burn.
