Avoiding The Sun Is Actually More Deadly Than Smoking

Grounding, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A recent article, published in the Journal of Internal Medicine on March 16, 2016, found that folks who avoided sun exposure had a decreased life expectancy, similar to smokers who bathed in the sun. This study looked at almost 30,000 participants (females ages 25 – 64 year old with no history of malignancy) over a span of 20 years. Researchers followed participants for over 20 years and tracked health outcomes and life span. What did they find? Researchers found that even when smoking was factored in, the life span of those who avoided the sun was over 2 …

My New Fav Sunscreen

Guest Blogger — Mission Essentials

Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

In addition to it being an …
