Normally, their pupils and eyelids would adjust to protect their eyes, as the pupils and eyelids of humans do. Soon afterward, the multi-million dollar sunglass business was born, and people have been duped ever since. The more you wear sunglasses, the weaker the eye muscles get, and the more sensitive the eyes become to sunlight. Stop using sunglasses unless you are in the snow or at high altitudes. Do eye exercises to strengthen and repair eye muscles. Use a hat if you need shade.
Similar studies on abused laboratory animals concluded that UV light causes cataracts and skin cancer. With such extreme and abnormal conditions and abused animals, their conclusions cannot be considered accurate.
Vitamin D is known as the ‘Sunshine’ vitamin because the body produces it during exposure to sunlight. Sunshine vitamin D is one of the best cancer preventives. Thus, all the slip, slop, slap, and cover-up from the Sun that many medical authorities have been promoting to prevent skin cancer are, ironically, contributing to it.
The benefits of sunshine vitamin D have been known for decades. Dr. Matthias Rath’s E-Bulletin, Sep 14, 2007, http://www.drrathresearch.org/ reported that vitamin D cuts early death risks, reduces cancer risks, and boosts the immune system. LONDON (Reuters) - People who have regular exposure to sunshine vitamin D have a significantly lower risk of dying earlier than those who do not, according to research published. Philippe Autier of the International Agency for Cancer Research in France, and Sara Gandini of the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, found that vitamin D lowered total mortality rates. Researchers doing a meta-analysis review of 18 separate trials, which involved nearly 60,000 patients, found that vitamin D blocks cancer cells from spreading and boosts the immune system. Sunshine, with its full-spectrum light waves entering the body via the skin (unlike supplement vitamin D), provides the most effective source of vitamin D.
Vitamin D produced from sunshine is an essential hormone required by the body for:
• The proper absorption of calcium
• Teeth and bone development
• Control of cell growth
• Neuromuscular functions
• Alleviation of inflammation
Vitamin D regulates the immune system and helps prevent breast cancer.
Sunlight contains large amounts of UV radiation. Depending on the wavelength, UV light is either near UV (UVA), mid-UV (UVB), or far-UV (UVC). Near-UV, directly adjoining the violet end of the visible light spectrum, is responsible for the tanning response in humans. Mid-UV activates the synthesis of vitamin D and the absorption of calcium and other minerals. Far-UV, mostly filtered out by the earth’s ozone layer, is germicidal, killing bacteria, viruses, and other infectious agents. There are tremendous health benefits from exposure to a certain amount of ultraviolet light.
UV Light:
• Activates the synthesis of vitamin D, a prerequisite for the absorption of calcium and other minerals from the diet
• Lowers blood pressure
• Increases the efficiency of the heart
• Improves electrocardiogram (EKG) readings and blood profiles of individuals with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
• Reduces cholesterol
• Assists in weight loss by improving thyroid function
• Is an effective treatment for psoriasis
• Is an effective treatment for some diseases
• Kills infectious bacteria (e.g., tuberculosis)
