The Cholesterol Also Rises EMILY CLARK FRANKY ONLEY

Did you know that tanning can be good for you?

Sunlight helps our bodies create Vitamin D

Vitamin D is critical to humans biochemistry Vitamin D deficiencies are linked to the development of dozens of diseases such as:  Multiple types of cancers  Diabetes  Heart Disease  Arthritis  Mental Illness  And more…

Did you also know that…. Cholesterol in necessary for human survival  Our skin converts Cholesterol to Vitamin D

Our Largest Organ: Skin  In the skin is where the crucial step of Vitamin D takes place  The color of skin is an adaptation to how much sunlight you are exposed to  No.. It is not to protect you against sun burn, but to protect from the loss of folic acid  Darker the skin the less ultraviolet light you absorb  Some scientist theorize we all started out with darker skin before we began to migrate and evolution took control

Results of Nina G. Jablonski and George Chaplin… “there was a near constant correlation between skin color and sunlight exposure in populations that had remained in the same area for 500 years or more.”  They had used this equation to support their claim W = 70 -AUV/10

Evolution is Clever Darker skin blocks the ultraviolet rays from absorbing folic acids, the skin does not absorb any Vitamin D from the sun  Solution: apolipoprotein E (ApoE4 gene) This ensures that the cholesterol in your body is flowing at an abundance  Side Affects: More at risk for heart disease and stroke

Being a Mutant We’re all mutants and it isn’t a bad thing. Example: Being able to eat ice cream with no complications  Great majority of the world’s adults cannot eat or drink milk without complications  When these adults no longer feed on breast milk, their bodies stop producing the enzyme that we need to digest lactose, the main sugar compound in milk.  If you can drink milk without bloating, cramping, and diarrhea that signify lactose intolerance. You probably are descended from farmers who drank animal milk

Race You can not look at a person’s skin color and determine their race. Why?  Skin color is changed based on your environment to match the sun’s brightness level  “in terms of common genetics, some dark-skinned North Africans are probably closer to light-skinned Southern Europeans than they are to other Africans with whom they share skin color.”

Genetics Scientists have found we are more intermixed then what was first thought  Humans are on the fast track of migrating for hundreds of years now  Humans go to all parts of the world, meet, and have relations resulting in the births of intermixed children  Migration and genetics mixed results in the showing of distinct genetic traits

The Distinct Genetic Traits  African Americans are more prone to fatal heart attacks due to hypertension  European and South Asian Americans have a 10% higher risk for cancer and heart disease  American Latinos are more likely to die of diabetes, liver disease, and infectious disease  Native Americans have higher rates of tuberculosis, pneumonia, and in- fluenza
