Timestamp (0:34) “A tan is a sign that you skin has been damaged” Yeah, if you know absolutely nothing about hormetic stress, how it works, and the properties of melanin This is the same idiotic tagline people use when talking about melanin production as it relates to UV light It’s a hyper-reductionist idea that doesn’t come close to explaining the reality of this subject If a tan (melanin production) is exclusively a sign of skin damage, then does that mean muscle mass is exclusively a sign of muscular damage? Hormetic stress allows human beings to become stronger. Exposure to eustress, recovery, more exposure to eustress, progressive overload, better health This is about as simple as it gets, yet these hyper-reductionists even get that wrong
