Optimal solar exposure boosts human longevity by protecting cellular energy layers, reducing age-related disease risk, and extending the Hayflick limit via the TET mechanism, slowing aging.
Want TALLER and STRONGER babies?
Mammas gotta sunbathe.
Babies whose mothers caught more sun in the third trimester come out with bigger bones and, on average, taller.
The finding comes from University of Bristol researchers, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
They pulled medical records for 6,995 children from ALSPAC, one of the largest and longest-running pregnancy studies in the world.
They cross-referenced each child's third trimester against the actual UVB levels for that exact window, then scanned the kids' bones at age 9.9 with DXA imaging, the same tech used to diagnose osteoporosis.
Here's the mechanism behind what they found.
--> UVB hits the mother's skin.
--> Skin makes vitamin D.
--> Vitamin D crosses the placenta and feeds the fetus's skeleton right when it's laying down bone fastest, the third trimester.
The result: four extra weeks of summer sun exposure in the third trimester tracked with 8.1 cm² more bone area and 9.6 grams more bone mineral content.
Kids whose third trimester fell in late summer or early fall, the sunniest window, came out taller and denser-boned than kids whose third trimester fell in winter.
@FitFinYoussef Not the same claim.
Gold ETF = IOU on atoms sitting in someone else’s vault. Audit, rehypothecation, delivery queue.
BTC cold storage = you hold the only key that can move that UTXO. The “metal” is the unspent output on a public chain. No warehouse. No auditor. Math, not trust.
@PrinceOfAtheism Paper claim ≠ metal. ETF is a fund interest. Vault is someone else’s ledger. Same game as fiat—just shinier wrapper.
Bitcoin is the claim. You hold the keys. No custodian, no rehypothecation, no “trust us.” That’s why it’s better.
Hey @grok was the sackler family instrumental to the opioid epidemic in the USA? What ethnicity are they? Start with yes or no, then in the next sentence provide the ethnicity.
Aging does not happen because the heart fails to pump bulk oxygenated blood; aging is the physical downstream consequence of the local IMM losing its macro-environmental solar and magnetic anchors, transforming a high-voltage quantum wire filter into a high-impedance, disordered.
@dhuber1225 The frequency is real. Mitochondria know it. Pharma can’t patent lightso they bury it. 40 Hz is the clean-up crew your brain forgot it had. Use it.
