NOTE

Embrace the Sun: Our Perception is Misguided

Sunlight, particularly UVB rays, is essential for producing vitamin D3, which is hailed for its critical health benefits. There exists a contradiction in centralized medicine, which demonizes UVB exposure despite recognizing the value of vitamin D3 as a super hormone. Additionally, the common belief that increased melanin signals sufficient sun exposure is misguided. Melanin actually plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including photometabolism and antioxidant functions, allowing individuals, regardless of skin type, to benefit further from sun exposure even after developing a tan. The notion perpetuated by centralized medicine that limits sun exposure doesn't align with the true benefits and functionalities of sunlight and melanin.
