STOP Doing THIS! It’s More Dangerous Than Smoking

Result

Summary:

In this transcript from “The Diary Of A CEO Clips,” Dr. Roger Seheult discusses the significant health benefits of sunlight exposure, likening the dangers of avoiding sunlight to the risks of smoking. Key points from Dr. Seheult include findings from Swedish and UK studies that highlight the positive impact of sunlight on reducing mortality rates from cancer and cardiovascular diseases without a statistically significant increase in melanoma risks. Dr. Seheult explains how sunlight, especially infrared, strengthens mitochondria and enhances overall health, citing improved health markers like decreased inflammation and mortality, especially in green spaces. The conversation also touches on the detrimental effects of modern lighting on health, suggesting that traditional incandescent bulbs might be more beneficial than LED lights.

Actionable Advice:

  1. Increase Sunlight Exposure:

    • Spend at least 15 minutes daily in the sunlight, particularly during morning or late afternoon when UV radiation is less intense.
    • Even in cloudy weather, endeavor to be outside to gain more natural infrared light, which is beneficial for health.

  2. Incorporate Green Spaces:

    • Spend time in environments with abundant greenery to gain the benefits of infrared light reflection from plants, improving overall health markers.

  3. Review Indoor Lighting:

    • Consider replacing LED bulbs with incandescent bulbs where possible, as they emit a broader light spectrum beneficial for health.

  4. Time Outdoor Activities:

    • Engage in outdoor activities during times that balance maximizing light exposure while minimizing UV risk, such as during early mornings or late afternoons.

  5. Balance Indoor and Outdoor Time:

    • Aim to reduce the time spent indoors. Engage in outdoor activities that promote both physical exercise and exposure to natural light.

  6. Consider Red Light Therapy:

    • For those unable to get adequate sunlight exposure, explore red light devices as a supplementary measure for mitochondrial health and improved skin quality.

  7. Monitor Seasonal Patterns:

    • Be more vigilant about maintaining health routines during shorter daylight months to mitigate potential seasonal health declines.
