Sun Cosmetics: Circadian Biology Webinar Part 3 | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode #72

This podcast is the preview episode of my Premium Improvement Warrior University webinar: Circadian Biology Webinar part 3: Sun Cosmetics.

Sun cosmetics are one of the biggest issues in people NOT getting enough sun. And not getting enough sun is one of the biggest risk factors for modern man diseases.

We go about 40 minutes for this preview. For the full podcast either join as a Patreon member (http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/patreon) or become a member of Improvement Warrior University Premium (http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/iwu).

Highlight Summary

• Sunlight and Health: Natural sunlight is vital for regulating our circadian rhythm, enhancing mitochondrial health, and overall well-being.

• Role of Melanin: Melanin protects against UV damage, supports vitamin D synthesis, and acts as an antioxidant. Blocking its production through sunscreens and covering up can lead to vulnerabilities.

• Mood Enhancement: Sunlight spurs the release of beta endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress. Overuse of sun-blocking methods can hinder this natural benefit.

• Dangers of Sunscreen: Many sunscreens can disrupt hormonal balance and block essential vitamin D synthesis, raising long-term health risks.

• Impact of Sunglasses: Sunglasses may disrupt circadian rhythm and inhibit melanin production, affecting overall health.

• Hormones and Nitric Oxide: Sun exposure is crucial for hormone production and cardiovascular health through nitric oxide release.

• Natural Protection: Embrace safe sun exposure and natural sun protection methods like antioxidant-rich oils and a diet rich in seafood.

• Balancing Modern Life: Integrate regular outdoor activities and natural light exposure into daily routines to harmonize modern living with nature's benefits.
