Since switching to cooking everything in tallow and butter while avoiding seed oils as much as possible, I no longer burn in the sun. I spend up to 6-10 hours out on the beach and may get a little red but no longer burn. I do this 5-6 days a week during the summer. The seed oils that you consume cook you from within. I never use sunscreen, stay well hydrated, and will apply coconut oil after I shower if my skin is dry.
Also, stopped using sun glasses as UV light helps with balancing hormones.I only put them on when I absolutely have to whole driving which is very rare. Your eyes get use to the light after a few months.
I 100% agree about the benefits of sunlight, however...
Sunglasses DO protect your eyes from developing cataracts and macular degeneration. I rarely used sunglasses until cataracts in both eyes developed. Since surgery, my world is so much brighter, and I never go without
sunglasses, even on an overcast day.
A cataract is a cloudiness of the lens in the eye. The lens bends incoming light rays and focuses them onto the retina. Human lenses must be clear to transmit the light without any scattering and loss. Lenses gradually get cloudy after age 30, and by your 60s and 70s, cloudiness decreases the amount of light penetrance into the eye and scatters the incoming light. For this reason, people with cataracts have dim and fuzzy vision. Aging is the most common cause of cataracts, but UVB definitely accelerates cataract formation.
Not all lenses claiming to absorb 100% of UV can indeed block all UV wavelengths. In the United States, manufacturers are allowed to claim 100% UV protection for lenses that absorb ultraviolet rays with wavelengths up to 380nm even though the range of ultraviolet rays extends up to 400nm, but less than that is better than nothing.
All true.

I stopped wearing sunglasses but I wear contact lenses and they all filter out uv. I haven’t figured out a solution to this problem
