Want a Competitive Advantage? Get Sun!

As I say, get outdoors! Get in the sun! Nature, the outdoors, the sun, in proper measure, are good for your health, cognition, attitude, and success.

In “Health Benefits of Sunbathing FAR Outweigh Risks, World Health Organization Says,” Sara Burrows writes:

The only concerning disease associated with the sun is malignant melanoma, which occurs mainly in the elderly, who lack pigment from underexposure and then get burned when they are exposed. Only one thousandth of a percent of the global population gets melanoma each year.

A much larger annual disease burden of 3.3 billion disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide is caused by underexposure to the sun, the organization says. DALYs measure how much a person’s expectancy of healthy life is reduced by premature death or disability caused by disease.
