- nikkwong 2y ago*Another tip is to stay in the sun. The data on sun exposure has largely reversed over the last decade; sun exposure is positively correlated with improved health outcomes, but should be done in moderation as to prevent skin issues.

- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoThat link says > In general, scientists think 5 to 15 minutes -- up to 30 if you’re dark-skinned -- is about right to get the most out of it without causing any health problems.
- heraldgeezer 2y agoYes. And people tan waaaaaaaaaaay more or work outside.
- dirtdobber 2y agoIt turns out that food is also healthy for you, in moderation. Alas, we need a drug to help us moderate.

- dirtdobber 2y agoI don't disagree with your premise, but I also don't fully agree with it as a comprehensive explanation. Overeating seems to be a uniquely American problem, and independent of a nation's food security status. For example, the obesity rate in Japan is much lower than that of the US and I don't think that's due to them (a) not having enough food to over-indulge or (b) somehow having evolved a shutoff mechanism that Americans have yet to develop. To me, it seems almost entirely explained by culture.
