The Speed at which the Body Heals Itself depends on, in an approximate order of priority (emphasis on approximate):
Quality of sleep
Quality of relationships
Quality of exposure of sun to bare skin
Quality of food
Quality of physical activity
Quality of sun to bare skin exposure may be somewhat controversial because we have been brainwashed to think sun exposure on bare skin gives us cancer. As we know, there is an entire industry based on the idea Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is an essential when out of doors.
And is it true we need "protection" from sun exposure? This is of course where Quality of Exposure comes into play. To put it simply, in the northern US we need greater duration, and in the southern US in the summer we still need exposure, but considerably less.
It is all too easy for me to get going on how much brainwashing we have all received by industries "protected" with a stock price, and said most succinctly in two words, food and drugs. Every major grocery chain has these two words in giant signage on the front of all their buildings...with one exception, Whole Foods.
Let's not forget that the Sun is the sole reason we are here to begin with, or that any biology exists at all. So we can think of the Sun as an essential nutrient, and like all nutrition there can be too much or too little of a good thing.
Let's also remember that the above factors combined are a Body/Mind Healing "program" running continuously from birth to death, reducing our potential susceptibility to chronic diseases. The better we get at tweaking the program, the more vibrant we are at every age.
On the topic of tweaking, I've come across a brilliant female MD who has very smart things to say about sun exposure, the importance of vitamin D, and hormones.
And she is feisty!
