Mused after filming a couple of videos in my kitchen. As you know I love to cook and sharing recipes of cooking, drinks and other miscellaneous have been on these pages. I will continue to do this but add videos demonstrating. If there is something you’d like me to video, let me know. Today is protein shakes and in the near future, martinis.

Sun Exposure, the Benefits or Bright Side

Did you ever think that a plastic Surgeon would encourage you to go outside and get some sun? Well, here are some convincing reasons to do so.

Sunlight is not just for inducing vitamin D that supports strong bones and teeth. Sunseekers may have a longer lifespan! Skin is our biggest organ. It is packed with sun-responsive chemicals, the most obvious is melanin which gives us color. It absorbs some of the sun’s UV rays helping to protect us from DNA damage. Melanin production is through the release of beta-endorphin which also plays a role in stress relief and pain management.

IN 2014 a Swedish researcher published a study of around 30,000 women over 20 years. It found that those who spent more time in the sun lived one to two years longer than those who avoided it. The increase in lifespan appeared to stem from lower rates of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease and chronic lung disease. A more recent study on 376,729 people who were followed for 13 years found that those with more sun-seeking behavior were 14% less likely to die from disease than their counterparts during the study. Curiously, the active sunseekers risk of dying from skin cancers was 14% lower too.

(Did You Know? There are a number of studies that suggest that sun exposure stimulates the immune system and those sunseekers have a lower risk of multiple sclerosis.)

Richard Weller who was involved with the more recent study, found that by spending 20 minutes in the sun that nitric oxide was stimulated and caused a temporary but significant drop in blood pressure. Researchers from Tel Aviv University found that sun exposure prompted the release of the “hunger hormone” ghrelin in men’s skin. Besides regulating diet, it helps to reduce inflammation and blood pressure.

While no one disputes that UV exposure is a major cause of skin cancer, total avoidance may not be best. They do agree that the amount of sun exposure needed to stay healthy is far lower than the amount that causes sunburn.
