so how do you get your vitamin D from

the Sun without getting skin cancer okay

I mean

I’m getting a lot of feedback from some

of these videos and a lot of people are

just afraid of the sun because it causes

cancer and wrinkles and photo aging and

it’s terrible for your health so you

should stay out of the sun yet on the

flip side they want the vitamin D yet

they don’t want to take Vitamin D

supplements now you have to realize that

we have evolved with exposure to the Sun

for a very very long time our bodies

have adapted to it our bodies have even

created natural filters to prevent this

radiation from the Sun specifically UV

radiation and then skin protection is a

pigment it’s called melanin and so

melanin actually blocks the UV radiation

damage from your skin so depending on

the color of your skin whether you have

darker skin we have more melanin or less

melanin you can have lighter skin it

will then relate to how much filtering

of this UV you have or how much

ultraviolet radiation will pass through

your skin and create problems

now it is true that when you expose your

skin to Sun and you burn your skin okay

that can increase your risk of getting

skin cancer if you’re chronically

exposed to ultraviolet radiation it can

diminish your vitamin A Levels it can

alter your DNA it can create a lot of

free radical damage but what’s

interesting is if you get sun without

sunburn you can decrease your risk of

getting cancer so normally what happens

is you have this ultraviolet radiation

it’s UVB okay specifically and it

actually hits your skin and then when it

hits your skin it interacts with

cholesterol another thing that people

associate being really bad because it

causes heart attacks in clogging of your

arteries and strokes Etc without that

cholesterol you cannot make vitamin D

okay you cannot make cell membranes

a good portion of the brain is

cholesterol

all of your sex hormones okay like

testosterone estrogen progesterone and

even cortisol are made from cholesterol

and without that you can’t make those

hormones so think about how many side

effects you could have from that without

cholesterol you can’t make bile that

helps you extract the fat soluble

vitamins with digestion and without

cholesterol you can’t make the cellular

membranes and you definitely can’t make

vitamin D so we need enough cholesterol

this is why like for example statin

drugs or being on a low-fat diet can

inhibit your production of vitamin D

that UV hits your skin converts the

cholesterol into Vitamin D which then

becomes activated through your kidney

and your liver and then when you have

the active form of Vitamin D it can

produce all the wonderful effects but of

course some people freak out if you even

mention taking vitamin D over 2 000 High

news I mean that’s probably because as

the rdas are roughly like 600 IUS which

are completely a joke because those rdas

or vitamin D requirements were created

long ago when we didn’t have all the new

information about What vitamin D does to

our immune system it’s basically the

Bare Bones amount of vitamin D you would

need to prevent osteoporosis but they

didn’t take in consideration for example

obesity metabolic syndrome your age

etc etc and just as a side note vitamin

D toxicity is extremely rare you would

have to take hundreds of thousands of

international units of vitamin D over

months to create a vitamin D toxicity

and the real big side effect is kidney

stones but if you drink two and a half

liters of fluid a day that’s going to

protect you against the kidney stones 19

000 different genes in your body

require vitamin D vitamin D is necessary

for your immune system to prevent

autoimmune disease depression

viral infections especially the cytokine

storm every part of the immune system

has receptors for vitamin D and it just

so happens that 69 percent of the

population doesn’t have enough vitamin D

now if you’re somewhat of a healthy

person and you’re young okay and you

don’t have metabolic syndrome you’re not

overweight let’s say you’re in your

bathing suit and you expose your skin to

about 30 minutes of sun okay Peak Sun

and you don’t live in the Northern Area

you live kind of in the South

um if you’re white you’ll get about 50

000 IUS of vitamin D if you’re tanned

you’ll get about 20 000 I use and if you

have darker skin you’ll get about 8 000

IUS but there are so many other

variables that can inhibit your vitamin

D absorption okay the time of the year

where you live as far as the latitude of

where the sun is in relationship to the

equator but getting back to the purpose

of this video how do you protect against

the sun without the negatives of the sun

okay

so here are some things that you can do

consume enough foods with vitamin C

because the more antioxidants you have

in your skin the more you’re going to

protect against this damage from UV

radiation not just UVB but the other

types of ultraviolet radiation so

vitamin C is essential okay vitamin E is

really key and there are certain

vitamins that you don’t want to let

yourself become deficient to help you

repair all the DNA damage that can occur

from various things especially UV

radiation in fact if you’re deficient in

the following micronutrients that alone

can leave you very vulnerable to getting

DNA damage not only from the UV

radiation but from other things as well

so

folate okay folate very very important

you get that from things like leafy

greens uh the next nutrient would be

niacin okay you can get that from pretty

much any food and beef it’s an animal

protein it’s in vegetables it’s in nuts

it’s in a lot of different places

magnesium okay very very important for

protection and repair against DNA damage

uh you get magnesium from leafy greens

it’s in the chlorophyll now also when

you do fasting you can increase your own

antioxidants and that will protect your

skin as well and also being on a low

carb diet very very important now

there’s also a very good sunblock that

you can use if you’re going to be out in

the sun a lot it’s a do-it-yourself

homemade sunblocker you use coconut oil

a fourth of a cup okay olive oil a

fourth of a cup sesame seed oil a fourth

of a cup and zinc oxide the non-nano

version two tablespoons and by the way

sesame seed oil alone can block UV

radiation by 30 percent

coconut oil and olive oil can block it

by 20 and so you make this combination

with everything to mix it up and you

apply it to your skin it’s so much

better than the commercial virgins

because of all the additional chemicals

they use now one last really important

Point okay

UV radiation is countered by infrared

radiation okay and they both come from

the same thing the Sun and so when

you’re getting the sun you’re also

getting infrared but you’re probably

going to get a better ratio of more

infrared versus UV if you get

sun exposure earlier in the day and

later in the day versus the peak like

noon where the sun is at its peak and

you’re going to get the most UV

radiation but a sunrise and the sunset

you’re getting infrared it’s going right

to your clothing it goes deep and it

penetrates in your body paints and it

makes melatonin

which is different than your melatonin

in your pineal gland it’s subcellular

okay it’s in other places and it’s

stimulated by infrared which is quite

fascinating because you also make

melatonin with Darkness okay so by being

exposed to the sun you can make this

melatonin which is the most powerful

antioxidant that can protect you against

this harmful UV

so even though your risk for skin cancer

goes up by 2x by getting sunburned if

you get your sun exposure without the

burn you decrease the risk of getting

skin cancer and the next most important

video you should watch would be the one

on that very topic melatonin check it
