    The speaker discusses the common misconception that a tan indicates good health, explaining that it actually signifies skin damage. While sunlight has benefits such as increasing vitamin D and improving mood, it can also harm collagen and elastin, leading to skin aging and cancer. The appropriate amount of sun exposure varies based on skin type, location, and time of year, with a recommendation to avoid high UV index times, particularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The speaker suggests using a 10,000 Lux lamp for light exposure before sunrise and taking vitamin D supplements when UV levels are high.

  • 00:00:36
    people fervently want me to get a tan
  • 00:00:38
    because they think that's a sign of good
  • 00:00:40
    health actually a tan is a sign that
  • 00:00:42
    your skin has been damaged the sun of
  • 00:00:45
    course is good for many reasons it's
  • 00:00:46
    also bad it's good because it helps
  • 00:00:49
    increase vitamin D it's also good for
  • 00:00:51
    mood and your circadium Rhythm and
  • 00:00:53
    helping in sleep it's bad because the
  • 00:00:55
    sun can damage collagen and elastin
  • 00:00:57
    leading to sagging skin and wrinkles
  • 00:01:00
    it's also bad because it can lead to
  • 00:01:01
    cancer now how much sun is right for you
  • 00:01:03
    depends upon your skin color latitude
  • 00:01:06
    time of year but it's not the case the
  • 00:01:07
    sun is always good it's nuanced to make
  • 00:01:09
    sure you know it's right now the first
  • 00:01:12
    question is when to get sun exposure A
  • 00:01:15
    good rule of thumb is when the UV index
  • 00:01:17
    is below three that's earlier in the
  • 00:01:19
    morning and later in the afternoon you
  • 00:01:21
    want to avoid High UV index which
  • 00:01:24
    typically happens between 10: a.m. and
  • 00:01:26
    400 p.m. right now it's 7:00 p.m. it's
  • 00:01:29
    perfect if you wake up in the morning
  • 00:01:31
    before the sun is out you do want light
  • 00:01:33
    exposure as it helps with your circadium
  • 00:01:35
    Rhythm and also your mood I wake up
  • 00:01:37
    around 5:00 a.m. before the Sun is up
  • 00:01:38
    and so I use a 10,000 Lux lamp now
  • 00:01:41
    you've probably heard that the sun
  • 00:01:42
    improves vitamin D production that is
  • 00:01:44
    correct you can also supplement vitamin
  • 00:01:46
    D I take 2,000 IU every day in times
  • 00:01:49
    where the UV index is above three you
  • 00:01:51
    can use a hat sunscreen or a UV umbrella
  • 00:01:54
    what you're trying to avoid is excessive
  • 00:01:56
    sun exposure on unprotected skin during
  • 00:01:58
    High UV times which may cause skin
  • 00:02:00
    damage next let's talk about sunscreens
  • 00:02:03
    a messy and Nuance topic that we don't
  • 00:02:05
    really know yet what we should be
  • 00:02:07
    talking
  • 00:02:12
    [Music]
  • 00:02:20
    about here are a few general rules that
  • 00:02:23
    I follow one is I use a mineral based
  • 00:02:26
    sunscreen it is less likely to be
  • 00:02:28
    absorbed through the skin it has UVA a
  • 00:02:30
    and UVB protection it also is more
  • 00:02:32
    environmental friendly now there are
  • 00:02:34
    some nuances with mineral-based
  • 00:02:35
    sunscreens for example the ingredient
  • 00:02:37
    titanium dioxide there is some emerging
  • 00:02:39
    evidence that it passes the blood brain
  • 00:02:42
    barrier which can be accumulated in the
  • 00:02:44
    brain not great now the evidence is
  • 00:02:46
    still emergent but the point is you want
  • 00:02:48
    to be ingredient aware now in choosing a
  • 00:02:51
    sunscreen you want to choose the right
  • 00:02:53
    one if you're swimming or you're playing
  • 00:02:55
    sports and you're going to become sweaty
  • 00:02:57
    or if you're in an ocean environment and
  • 00:02:58
    you want to be Marine friendly choose
  • 00:03:00
    the right one for the right application
  • 00:03:02
    so what do we do in preparing for this
  • 00:03:04
    video I decided not to recommend a
  • 00:03:07
    specific sunscreen or even a group of
  • 00:03:09
    sunscreens I thought we could work on
  • 00:03:11
    this together because I was apprehensive
  • 00:03:13
    that you recommend a given thing and
  • 00:03:14
    then more evidence comes out and we
  • 00:03:16
    change our opinions so this is really an
  • 00:03:18
    ongoing evolving process I know that has
  • 00:03:20
    been the case for me over the past few
  • 00:03:22
    years we choose the sunscreen we learn
  • 00:03:24
    more about ingredients we change again
  • 00:03:25
    it's a continued process of trying to
  • 00:03:27
    get better at maximizing the benefits
  • 00:03:30
    and minimizing the potential harm now if
  • 00:03:31
    you don't like sunscreen and you think
  • 00:03:33
    they're the worst thing ever I would
  • 00:03:34
    encourage you to take measures to
  • 00:03:35
    protect your skin from the damage that
  • 00:03:37
    can happen during High UV times of the
  • 00:03:39
    day now for the pro tips you can tint
  • 00:03:42
    your windows but make sure you choose
  • 00:03:44
    the right one it should block 99% of UVA
  • 00:03:47
    and UVB you can also wear gloves when
  • 00:03:50
    driving a lot of people don't remember
  • 00:03:52
    their hands get a lot of sun exposure
  • 00:03:54
    that's why when you measure arms there's
  • 00:03:55
    significant aging damage more on the
  • 00:03:57
    left arm which is outside the window in
  • 00:03:58
    the Sun and less on the right and
  • 00:04:00
    finally you can use a UV protectant
  • 00:04:02
    umbrella just like this
  • 00:04:06
    [Music]
  • 00:04:16
    guy so in summary too much and too
  • 00:04:19
    little the sun is not good you want just
  • 00:04:22
    the right amount like Goldilocks Long
  • 00:04:24
    Live vampires
