It’s rather contradictory as well — as we know that priming the metabolism & skin with early sun exposure helps develop melanin which is our skins protection to harmful radiation later in the day — there is a starting place when absorbing sunlight — just like there is a starting place to run a marathon — you don’t just wake up and run a 1/2 marathon… just as you don’t wake up and go get 5 hours of UVB radiation without any preparation 🙃
That is highly incorrect. Can sunlight damage the eye? Yes, of course. Just like sun can cause skin to burn. But there is context to be had. Just like drinking to much water can be lethal, that doesn’t mean water kills people. We can’t keep this reductionistic approach when it comes to something so very basic — humans + solar sun + gravity + time = our evolution to today.
Im pretty surprised & smitten at the comment made to “not greet the sunrise” and that “it’s not even a good idea” — I have to say this is inherently against the reality of what red light & NIR & what UVA is able to do as a primer & a cascade of chain reactions in regards to a circadian principle first approach 🫠

And is it cultural wisdom loss that “sunlight will damage the eye “ or just assuming poor circadian rhythms across humanity?
