Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor of similar magnitude as smoking in terms of life expectancy. - Journal of Internal Medicine Study, 2016, headed by Dr. Lindqvist

Dr. Weller’s largest study published in February, 2020, tracked the blood pressure of 340,000 people in 2,000 locations around the world. People in sunnier climes have lower blood pressure. Sunlight reduces the risk of prostate, breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer. It improves circadian rhythms, reduces inflammation and dampens autoimmune responses. It improves virtually every mental condition you can think of.

[Previously I avoided sunlight assiduously. Not so much any more after learning. "A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deeply or taste not the Perian Spring." - Alexander Pope

I'm no doctor but somebody needs to warn (mostly elderly) Americans about taking drugs that lower the immune system. Federal directives require ads for prescription drugs to list the side effects but probably nobody pays attention to the fact that some so-called biological prescription drugs intentionally lower your immunity to fight infection so that the drug might work. If you can't understand how that might affect your likely hood of contracting Covid ....maybe you deserve what you get.

We scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested. – Martin Seligman, psychologist, in his book, Flourish

" If you were to take the sum total of all the authoritative articles ever written by the most qualified psychologists and psychiatrists on the subject of mental hygiene, if you combine them and refine them and cleave out all the excess verbiage, if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the parsley, and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount." - A Few Buttons Missing: The Case Book of a Psychiatrist, by James T. Fisher, p. 273
