In honor of the solar eclipse today, I do not wear sunscreen. Why no sunscreen⬇️ It is toxic. Plain and simple. I got asked yesterday if I really don’t wear sunscreen, and the answer is no, I really don’t. The last time I wore sunscreen was a few years ago and I was making my own mineral sunscreen in my kitchen (it worked and was pretty cool if I needed a non-toxic sunscreen.) Now, I focus on my diet and my relationship with the sun. I don’t sunburn. I’m outside ALL DAY in the sun, even during peak hours, in the summer. No burns, only health benefits. How? I cleaned up my diet and eliminated seed oils. I began focusing on antioxidant rich foods during summer months, like berries. WILD that antioxidant rich foods are in season when the sun is at its fullest. Almost as if it was created that way… We have been trained to see the sun as the enemy. That fear lines the pockets of the sunscreen corporations. These corporations don’t care about you or your health. The scary reality of sunscreen: Chemicals in sunscreen mimic the shape of our hormones and bind to receptors and cause imbalances. For example, oxybenzone (a common ingredient in the most popular sunscreens) affects the function of our thyroid system, adrenal system, and your reproductive system. It is absorbed into our bloodstream to go wreak havoc while it is “protecting” us from the sun. Sunscreen leads to vitamin D deficiency. We need vitamin D. Chemicals found in sunscreen can be harmful for reproduction and can pass into mother’s milk, which baby then consumes. What does this do to baby if we know the toxic affects it has on us? After researching further, I have come to realize BIG SUNSCREEN is a BIG SCAM. I am always met with “well so and so got skin cancer because they never wore sunscreen and spent time in the sun. Look at this picture of a trucker who was in the sun driving!” Ok… what was so and so’s diet? How did they nourish themselves? What kind of environmental toxins did they surround themselves with? Most of the time so and so ate processed food (because that is what’s normal.) Don’t blame the sun for what the truck stop did, friends. What do you think? #homestead #solareclipse
