That's the problem , huh. I'll have to let my co-workers know that they're in for a few weeks of naked walking around the office.
- abecedarius 11y agoI wonder if the walking naked "as long as possible" is about the seasons? That is, subjecting yourself to colder temperatures -- which is also a modern recommendation (cold showers) in some of the same circles as recommend a high-fat diet with intermittent fasting ("eat only once a day", "hard work before food"). If so, the hard bed's the only part that been dropped.
- CuriouslyC 11y agoAlmost definitely not. Vitamin D deficiency is fairly common today, even with good food sources like fortified dairy products and eggs. The ancient Greeks didn't have fortified dairy and the chicken hadn't been domesticated yet, so the only readily available food source of vitamin D was liver. Luckily, the body can produce vitamin D; half an hour of naked sun exposure is more than sufficient to meet your daily requirements.
- abecedarius 11y agoThat sounds like a better idea. I've seen a couple claims that higher vitamin-D levels go with lower weight, e.g. https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/releases/2014/04/vitamin-d-effect-on-weight-loss.html https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/releases/2014/04/vitamin-d...
