Oxygen is good for us, but it also kills and ages us (oxidation). Insulin we couldn't live without, but it also has its bad effects. The sun is no different.

Think about most overweight people you know or see. They have in general very white skin. That is because a lot of us when we are overweight tend to hide indoors, not so much from the sun, but from bathing suits, shorts, and onlookers.

Eades is not the only Nutritionist to recommend a little sun. Dr. Perrone in his book recommends 10-20 minutes three times per week. He says this keeps you from retaining water among other things.

The point is that you can get sun by just shopping outside. I visited a museum last weekend and got plenty of sun exposure.

The idea of no suntan lotion is only for those who foolishly spend too much time in the sun. The point is your skin will start burning and you will feel it and you will go inside. It is to keep you from sun over-exposure. But for those who know they can't avoid staying more than 15 minutes in the sun, definitely wear suncreen. If you have to be outside for long periods of time, this is a completely different thing. You NEED sunscreen.
