We all know the dangers of too much sun exposure – skin damage, eye damage, immune system suppression and skin cancer. However, did you know sunlight is essential to health and well-being? Sunlight produces vitamin D, supports bone health, lowers blood pressure, prevents disease, and promotes better mental health.
Sunlight also increases serotonin, a chemical in the brain that gives you more energy and promotes calm, positivity, and focus.
There are more than 2,800 hours of sunshine in White Rock annually. That is a fair bit of sun. So how do we experience all the benefits of sunlight without all the adverse effects of exposure?
“It is important to take precautions, but not be afraid to take in the sun’s rays,” says Ashley Armitage, R.H.N. with Health Express Inc in White Rock.
“Make sure to stay hydrated with electrolytes and trace minerals,” says Armitage. “If you are dehydrated, you will be more susceptible to burn. If you are using sunscreen, pick one zinc-based and not filled with chemicals.”
In addition to sunscreen and tasty drinks, Health Express Inc. carries
Newco is a Canadian company based in Calgary, and it has revolutionized products using broccoli’s most potent antioxidant, sulforaphane. Products include chemical-free skincare, supplements, and food – like Brocco-Chocco, a delicious organic chocolate bar filled with health benefits.
BroccoFusion and BroccoGen products help reduce harmful chemical damage from toxins. These toxins cause free radical production and damage our cells, leading to illness and disease.
“Sulforaphane is a natural approach to detoxing the liver,” says Armitage. “It also helps with eczema and other skin-related conditions. With sulforaphane, hormone imbalances, hyperpigmentation, cold sores, and chemo-skin can all be improved.”
