@EmigrationC @ChrisAlvino Not quite the same thing, but glad it worked for him. LASIK has a success rate of over 95% and has been life-changing for many, including myself. Meanwhile, smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide.
@ChrisAlvino I think if you are a healthy individual who does their research on a good Dr you will be just fine. 10+ years for me and no complications. Personally it’s the best decision I’ve made. I’m sorry for your experience 😔
The sun does not cause cancer, sunscreen does.
Skin cancer rates have skyrocketed ~200% since the introduction of oxybenzone sunscreen.
This is not a coincidence.
The sun is the single greatest source of life on earth. We were meant to bathe in it freely, not hide from it under a vitamin D-blocking layer of chemical goop.
Instead of lathering yourself in soyscreen this summer, start building your natural solar callous (and tan) with these practices:
Gradual Exposure
Starting with zero sun tolerance, you’ll be best off getting sun when its rays are the mildest: during sunset and sunrise.
As you get more acclimated, gradually spend more time in the sun using clothing and the shade to block it whenever you feel yourself starting to burn.
Stop Wearing Sunglasses
When you put a filter of darkness over your eyes, receptors in your brain are tricked into thinking it’s dark and you’re out of the sun.
Your body’s natural response to this is to stop releasing melanin into the skin, thus leaving you more vulnerable to burns.
Moisturize and Hydrate
Before, after, and even during sun exposure, be moisturizing in coco oil and/or tallow.
Be very cognizant about staying hydrated in the sun. This doesn’t mean chugging plain water but rather getting a healthy dose of hydrating minerals and electrolytes.
Great sun drinks/snacks:
-coco water
-mineral water with sea salt and lime
-freshly squeezed fruit juices
-raw milk
-fruit with a pinch of salt sprinkled on top
Diet
Inflammatory seed oils will not only make you feel like garbage, but they will literally burn under your skin in the sun.
Eliminate all processed food from your diet. Eat real, whole, natural foods and nutrients.
You will feel better, look better, and your body and skin will be healthier and much more receptive to the sun’s rays.
It is completely silly to be fearful of the sun.
Adapt these practices + listen to your body when it signals overexposure, and I promise you will experience only positive health benefits from it 🌞

@Rakgadi_EM@CommunityNotes There has been a misunderstanding with Helen Zille’s recent interview where she used the phrase “you people.” Some are interpreting this as a reference to black people, leading to accusations of racism.
She was critiquing the media’s approach.
@Zcandice_XAUUSD Prior to market close, the price touched a 2321 Daily Order Block. Is it reasonable to anticipate that upon market reopening, the price will revisit the Order Block before proceeding towards the Fair Value Gap?
