  •    HOW TO HAVE FUN IN THE SUN...AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH!
  • (622KB)
    Clich here to see why, for over 20 years, sunscreen manufacturers have withheld crucial information from you about the sun’s benefits. Despite their warnings that sunshine can cause serious risks to your health, just the opposite is true:
    •  Sunscreens almost completely block your body’s ability to produce sunshine-stimulated vitamin D3.
    •  Those who live (or spend more time) in the sun have a significantly decreased chance of developing cancer.
    •  Sunlight helps you burn fat faster, improves blood sugar levels and more.
    They also don’t tell you that:
    •  Most sunscreens contain chemicals that actually cause cancer or produce other unhealthy results.
    •  Safe sunscreens exist...if you know what to look for.
