I had a pale-skinned 104 year old grandmother and her daughter, my 97 year old aunt, who didn't get a great deal of sun exposure. They hid from it, based upon flawed advice from their MDs (Medieval Doctors). That lack didn't lead to their early demise. They likely did get good sleep most of their lives, at least until later in life when pain from chronic conditions likely impaired it.
Quantum theory states that matter is merely a state of energy. At the quantum level, we are just masses of whirring electrons, and when those electrons get thrown out of whack, disease can occur. Sunlight and grounding are simple ways to allow the body to naturally get back in balance. So, too, can the food that we eat and the water that we drink, except that they can also contain contaminants that throw electrons out of balance. It's the lack of such an understanding that is why allopathic medicine fails so miserably at treating chronic diseases, which manifest at the quantum level.
I think you have a great message, but it seems hyperbolic at times. I suspect that is just excessive enthusiasm. Or perhaps there's an occasional non-sequitur where you skip a key thought before arriving at your conclusion?
I'd say that humans are designed to be very adaptable, and capable of thriving in a lot of environments, some of which are lacking in sunlight, but some people can thrive all the same. I'm thinking mainly of the Inuits here, and their traditional diet during the winter has sources of "second hand sunlight" stored in the fats of the animals that they consumed. Someone from the tropics moving to such an environment likely wouldn't fare as well.
Perhaps direct exposure to sunlight is more beneficial to those whose ancestors evolved with high level of exposure to sunlight, and less important for those whose ancestors evolved with far lower exposure? There's definitely a ton of truth in what you write, but I don't think it is THE Truth. But great job all the same, because you are expanding people's awareness of health promoting factors!
By the way, years ago I was competitive in the cycling specialty of hill climbing. I had subscribed to a service that summarized the latest research in diet and exercise. One study looked at Masters athletes and how their performance declined with age. The decline was steady until around age 85, when performance decline greatly accelerated. The conclusion from the authors was that this was caused by decreased enervation caused by deterioration of the central nervous system, and that it was inevitable. I tend to agree, except that exceptionally fit people may find it hard not to exercise to the point where they exacerbate and accelerate the damage. My personal, unscientific belief is that for people who don't stress their bodies to the same degree, around age 90 is where the decline is inevitable. I had an uncle who died at age 96, who at age 90 was in better shape than a lot of 20-year-old gymnasts. It was clear in talking with him that around age 90 he was starting to lose his spark.
Optimizing circadian rhythms probably won't help most people live all that much longer. But hopefully it will increase the number of years of health and decrease the amount of chronic disease.
We live in a Goldilocks world. There's a huge variation in what is "just right" for each of us.
Thank you Zaid, quite impressive!
Thank you!
