On my walk in the woods this morning, I stopped to take in the sun rays and thought to myself how difficult it must be to not have sun light a portion of the year
I already know the Sun gives alot more than just D. I have Seasonal Adjust. Disorder - when it's overcast I start losing energy and motivation to do anything (lethargy) & my mood changes. I left Michigan for CA & then FL because I need more sunlight.
Sunlight as it pertains to serotonin has to do with your retina seeing light (not your skin) and then stimulating your suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). As a dermatologist, I think this is a very important distinction from vitamin d synthesis which only requires 15 minutes of large surface skin exposure and not necessarily during the peak sunlight hours of the day. By the way - the face and hands are not large body surface areas and are overexposed to UV radiation over a lifetime making them more prone to cancer and less useful for vitamin D production… so, sun protection of these areas, at minimum, would be prudent for those seeking vitamin d production via sun exposure of the skin. Opening window shades and seeing light is what is key for serotonin production, particularly when we are talking about seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Telling people to immerse themselves (and their skin) in the sun for an hour during peak sun hours has repercussions and is not necessary for your retina to see the light.
I'm wondering if the following 3 concepts lead to a sunlight protocol listed at the end 1. Your recommendation of 15 min large body exposure I'm guessing is an average across the year and at a New York latitude. Presumably eposure time varies with time of day, latitude, season, cloud cover, skin pigmentation per Pubmed 24494042 2. Pubmed 26547141 maximal Vitamin D production per minimum cancer risk occurs at noon (max UVB:UVA ratio) 3. It seems logical that 15 mins over 50% of the body is much more healthy than 150 mins over 5% of the body. I haven't found any studies on this, but presumably our body's ability to avoid damage leading to cancer from the sun can handle a certain amount on a patch of skin. Hence sunburn happens only after a certain period and intensity. Is this correct? Seems to imply same amount of sun spread over a greater area leads to shorter total exposure time needed...which is good. If so, do these 3 thoughts combine to create the following recommendation for solar vitamin D production : At noon, expose maximum possible skin (except face and hands since they get so much more sun in everyday living than the rest of the body (depending on clothing worn) ) while rotating to evenly expose all aspects of the body for a time consumate with latitude, season, cloud cover, skin pigmentation and amount of skin exposed. Since this is most important in winter in northern climes, cold exposure therapy is included as well. At all other times, keep hands and face protected.
I was diagnosed with SAD as a child in Mich. it was awful. I might barely get thru 1 day of overcast but 2? I'm going down. I can barely function or motivate to do anything & my mood is different, like a zombie - I'm normally peppy. It got alot better after moving to CA & now FL
The key takeaways are: 1. **Multifaceted Benefits of Sunlight:** Sunlight offers a range of health benefits that extend far beyond the production of Vitamin D. 2. **Improvement in Sleep Quality:** Exposure to natural sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep quality and overall well-being, as evidenced by studies showing improved sleep in office workers with more sunlight exposure. 3. **Enhanced Serotonin Production:** Sunlight increases serotonin turnover, particularly in brighter conditions. This is significant for mood regulation, with studies indicating lower serotonin levels during winter months and increased production with more sunlight. 4. **Cognitive Function Boost:** There is a positive correlation between sunlight exposure and cognitive function. Sunlight exposure, especially in older individuals, is linked to increased brain activity, possibly due to the role of urocanic acid in neurotransmitter synthesis. 5. **Beta-Endorphin Release:** UVB light exposure triggers the release of beta-endorphins, creating a sense of well-being and potentially making sunlight exposure enjoyable and addictive. 6. **Importance of Photobiology:** The video emphasizes the significance of photobiology, the study of how light affects living organisms, in understanding the comprehensive impact of sunlight on human health. 7. **Practical Approach to Sunlight Exposure:** DeLauer suggests a balanced and practical approach to sunlight exposure, considering its various benefits for health and well-being.
well if you live in the Northern part of Canada, there aint no sunshine except June and July...so I take D3 plus k2, 5000 a day. testing shows I'm in the top range, 120.
@@naughtyrocks2425 i was well over 120 without d toxicity symptoms. but if you're over 250ng/ml d3 then you may start having d3 toxicity such as hypercalcemia. i would say daily dose under 5000 iu should be safe for most, but it depends on bodyweight & composition so best to get bloodwork regularly if you're supplementing higher doses. i think it's idea to aim for around 80 ng/ml.
It is a bit strange if it causes cancer.. We naturally evolved in the sun.. like all creatures.. Imagine how much our ancestors would have had to be in the sun all day..
That's true, however, if you use sunscreen, you barely get the sun benefits, it's almost as you are inside a car or building, do just go out for like 15 -20minutes without sunscreen, nothing will happen to you. Best
would it be a horrible idea to interest your team to start a health program in China, which has one of the highest growth of insulin resistance issues?
Exactly - yet he never says anything about this. To get enough D levels you must supplement, he probably uses an expensive UV lamp to keep his levels up. This year in the UK we have had the worst summer for many years - dull, overcast and rainy.
Hi from Connecticut 🙏 You're great ❤ my vitamin d25 is 154, my doctor called me and told me stop supplementing vitamin d3+k2?! Is this sounds alright to you? Thanks 😊
@@nikola_korneta Oooops! I had watched another movie just before Solaris called Marooned (another great classic) in which a cosmonaut from Russia comes to the aid of 3 USA astronauts who were running out of oxygen in their disabled space ship so I guess I had Russia on my mind. It's very confusing as to when it's proper to refer to a country by a former name. For instance, my paternal grandfather was born and lived in Yugoslavia for 26 years, in what became Croatia in 1992. I also typed sci-fi wrong in my original post LOL. Senior brain struggling. 🤷♀️
@@jodybogdanovich4333 Only your grandfather could define himself by nationality I guess. The author of Solaris book is Polish (also Jewish) writer Stanislaw Lem (was born on land which is now part of Ukraine that days Poland, which was occupied by Soviets in 1941) and helped Andrei Tarkovsky (the director of Solaris movie) to adapt the book to screenplay. And Tarkovsky in turn was also a son of Soviet poet and a grandson of Ukrainian writer which in turn was also of polish ancestry. Russians love to take all the credits of Soviet era achievements to themselves but you see how not simple it is. There's a US cable channel called Sy-fy which broadcasts sci-fi movies and series.
@@nikola_korneta I watched Marooned and Solaris on the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and I do watch some movies on the SyFy channel. I love TCM because of the education and interviews they give about the movies they show. In fact, I was blown away when one of the astronauts in the International Space Station was interviewed. It was fascinating because he talked about these movies but also provided insight about living and working and free time on board the station. BTW, my grandfather met and married a young lady whose family immigrated from Poland. I pray daily for peace and the elimination of evil in this world. 🙏 Take care.

Lots of info counteracts what you’re saying. It’s best to get outside into the actual light.

You are hurting his views on this video lowkey
Thank you.👍
YES - early morning sunlight in your eyes is key for circadian rhythms
Vitamin d is so important
No shit Sherlock
what should we do in the PNW when its cloudy and rainy and days are short all day?
In Seattle, the UV index no longer gets above 1 at this time of the year.
@@mr.forche4373 yup I know. So how can we benefit ?
vD pills and daylight panels.
NIR is important!
In actually sitting in the sun right now lol. It's freezing here in the UK. - 3c today. 2c I the sun though. Feels glorious. 😊
well if you live in the Northern part of Canada, there aint no sunshine except June and July...so I take D3 plus k2, 5000 a day. testing shows I'm in the top range, 120.
May look into investing in red light lamp. Lots of similar benefits
I thought 30-100 is normal range.is 120 still ok? Will not lead to vit d toxity?

Can anyone explain why yesterday, after getting a ton of sun for the first time this year, it ended up giving me terrible insomnia/sleep quality
Get with a dermatologist on how to get sunlight without aging and causing cancer to your skin
It is a bit strange if it causes cancer.. We naturally evolved in the sun.. like all creatures.. Imagine how much our ancestors would have had to be in the sun all day..

Tell me about it. Grey weather lasts six months here.
I'm all about the many benefits of sunlight. I'm so grateful to be living in Phoenix. It's always sunny.

Living north of the 49th parallel means there is not enough sunlight for benefit from October through April!

@@steve1711 The whole point ofthe video was that its not just about vit D
I go to a tanning bed place and use high uv b tanning bed. 4 minutes per day it works great
With the chemtrails being sprayed almost every day where i live i ha no other option but supplement
So nice to hear from someone who is is “awake” and aware of the ongoing geoengineering operations and is wise enough to avoid them.
