Truth & Tanning The Sun - The sun is the source of the Earth's life. It provides most all of the daily energy to fuel the cycle of life that goes on around us. Without the Sun, life on this planet would no longer exist. Man evolved under the influence of the Sun. In our ancestors days, it influenced their sleep patterns and reproduction, their metabolism speeds and general health. Its abundance in summer and absence in winter determined our actions and very survival. We are the same being today that evolved under its healing rays, and we must include sun-light in any plans we have for a healthy life. The Ozone Layer - The Earth's atmosphere, especially the ozone layer, protects us from most of the shorter, more harmful wavelengths, while allowing essential longer wavelength ultraviolet, visible and infrared light to penetrate it. The ozone layer is rapidly being destroyed by pollutants. Scientists agree that this will let more of the damaging, short-wave UV light through, so we must be more careful than ever before to avoid too much exposure to natural sunlight. Ultraviolet Light - Ultraviolet (UV) light is divided into 3 bands or wavelength ranges, which are referred to as UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA - known as the "tanning ray", is primarily responsible for darkening the pigment in our skin. UVA is less energetic than UVB, so exposure to UVA will not result in a burn, unless the skin is photo-sensitive or excessive exposure exists...
