"Experts warn that lack of outdoor sun exposure causes many risks to physical and mental health -including exacerbation of Covid risk."

Nanny gets so worked up over a little warm weather, not only is she advising us to stay indoors but she is also telling us that the rail network will grind to a halt (will anyone notice?) because of the heat!We built the Cairo to Khartoum railway, ffs. https://t.co/JYTsz9nxfW— Old Holborn✘ (@Holbornlolz) June 25, 2018
"I guarantee that whether this comes to fruition or not Nanny will press the red alert "stay indoors, and stay cool" panic button."Well as sure as eggs Nanny has pressed the panic button.
"Public Health England is expected to declare a level 2 heat-health alert, triggered when the Met Office forecasts a 60 per cent or greater chance of temperatures hitting 30C for at least two days consecutively....Seriously, how did the human race survive before Nanny came along?
The charity, Age UK, advised older people to stay indoors and to eat more cold foods, mainly salads and fruits, to keep hydrated in the heat."
“Modern life is having an impact because we are exposed to so many chemicals and we don’t know what they do.”Chemicals found in sun cream, cosmetics, frying pans, cars, foods and even in items of clothing could all increase risks to sperm, he suggested.
“We are advised to protect ourselves with these sunblocks but it seems when you go to the laboratory and test some of these chemicals they can interfere with the sperm function.Given that the British summer is usually crap anyway, I have found Nanny's obsession with sunscreen to be perverse to say the least!
If I was to advise my own family I would say don’t use it.”
"We have studied the level of vitamin D in 247,574 Danes, and so far, it constitutes the world's largest basis for this type of study.In other words, don't overdose on vitamin D supplements (eminently sensible advice!).
We have also analysed their mortality rate over a seven-year period after taking the initial blood sample, and in that time 16,645 patients had died.
Furthermore, we have looked at the connection between their deaths and their levels of vitamin D. If your vitamin D level is below 50 or over 100 nanomol per litre, there is an greater connection to deaths.
We have looked at what caused the death of patients, and when numbers are above 100, it appears that there is an increased risk of dying from a stroke or a coronary.
In other words, levels of vitamin D should not be too low, but neither should they be too high. Levels should be somewhere in between 50 and 100 nanomol per litre, and our study indicates that 70 is the most preferable level.
These are very important results, because there is such great focus on eating vitamin D. We should use this information to ask ourselves whether or not we should continue to eat vitamins and nutritional supplements as if they were sweets.
You shouldn't simply up the dose to feel better. We should only consume such vitamins in close coordination with our GP."
“While many people enjoy hot weather, high temperatures can be dangerous, especially for people who may be particularly vulnerable, such as older people, young children and those with serious illnesses.I am old enough to remember the drought and heatwave of 1976, we didn't have any of this bollocks then and managed to live through it!
Many members of the Muslim community may be fasting during the current period of Ramadan. During hot weather it’s important to balance food and fluid intake between fasts and especially to drink enough water.”
''This information might serve as a valuable means of educating people to curb excessive sun exposure in order to limit skin cancer risk as well as accelerated skin ageing that occurs with repeated sun exposure.
Our findings suggest that the decision to protect our skin or the skin of our children may require more of a conscious effort rather than a passive preference.''
''Mice are nocturnal animals, covered in fur, which avoid the light, so one must be cautious about extrapolating from these experiments to man.
.......It is very unlikely that evolutionary pressures would select for a trait which reduces survival and reproductive 'fitness'. If an 'addiction' to sun truly also exists in mankind, it suggests to me that there is a benefit to it.Quite!
'The authors mention vitamin D, but in addition to this, epidemiological data (particularly from Scandinavia) show that increased sun exposure is associated with reduced all-cause mortality.
'Our recent work shows how sunlight reduces blood pressure independently of vitamin D, which may account for some of the health enhancing effects of sun.''
"The results of this study clearly showed that mortality was about double in women who avoided sun exposure compared to the highest exposure group.
Sun exposure advice which is very restrictive in countries with low solar intensity might in fact be harmful for women’s health.Unsurprisingly it is likely that the lack of vitamin D may to be blame. Vitamin D is created in the body through exposure to sunshine and a deficiency is known to increase the risk of diabetes, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis and rickets.
The mortality rate was increased two-fold among avoiders of sun exposure as compared to those with the highest sun exposure habits.”
"The van looks a total mess – every bit of plastic on the left hand side and everything on the dashboard has melted, including a bottle of Lucozade that looks like it has been baked.Joint developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf said they are investigating and are quoted:
When I got in the van it was a really strange light - like it was illuminated and they were filming. I want to know what effect it's having on people walking down the road."
“As a precautionary measure, the City of London has agreed to suspend three parking bays in the area which may be affected.”Man's hubris, when it comes to erections, knows no bounds!
