Sun sun sun

Ever since I am raw, I stopped using sunscreen. First of all, because of the many many toxins it contains. It actually does more damage to your skin then good (http://www.naturalnews.com/023317.html).
So how to protect from the sun?
Well, being a slight reddish-head, light skintype with spreckles :-) I feel that I can support the sun much better! All of a sudden, after going raw! How is that? The skin produces its own sunscreen. It are the antioxidants that do this!
A second factor is vitamin D. Vit D is produced by exposure to sunlight. Deficiency in this vitamin is actually responsible for a multitude of modern chronic diseases (there is a book about this, The Vitamine D Cure). Interested in reading more? http://www.naturalnews.com/001520.html
Why all this talk about sun? Well, I guess I'm kind of missing the sun right now. Here in the snowy mountains, we don't get sun for three months at our mountain flank. I make it a habit to go sit in the sun on the mountain top every day for half an hour and think: life is great!
Namaste,
Dorien
Bomb totally agrees on this
Bomb totally agrees on this subject, I did my own experiment to sun exposure last summer with good results, if you feel you`re skin burning its not protecting itself with natural oils and minerals, Bomb never felt a twinge after 1-1.5 hours out in sun every day for a month, without any protection except faith in Raw Food, you have to balance your system of course but thats what this site is for, there are people to help you if you`re stuck, Bomb likes that about this site, SALT IS ONLY GOOD IF YOU GET NATURAL ORGANIC SEA OR CRYSTAL SALT, Bomb uses 1-2 teaspoons in mix on a daily basis, but drinks 1 pint of Evian after meals, I found that good salt helps to close and lock the pores without drying the skin escpecially if you have fresh lemon at some stage every day too, in food or a drink, if you are on a low sodium diet then you probably take OTC medication, i`m afraid you`ll need to clean up you`re diet and get off that medication before trying even good salt, don`t risk doing too many things at once, the effects are devastating and confuse you`re body, Bomb did it and fell into nasty state of coldness and brain fog, please take things easy, there is no rush, too many people rush these days, stop and breath now and then... bye for now
