Ultraviolet light is good for you - especially if you have darker skin. But even for lighter skinned people, if they have the ability to tan, they can utilise the positive effects of UV radiation from the sun. • Chapters: • 00:10 What is Ultraviolet Light • 01:15 Different Light wavelengths penetrate to different depths of the body • 02:00 Nitric Oxide and Blood Pressure • 03:55 UVA, UVB VIS trigger NO production in skin • 05:06 UVB triggers Vitamin D production in skin • 07:53 Negative effects of Ultraviolet Light • 08:37 UV Light can trigger Melanoma (Skin Cancer) • 09:44 Melanin protects against UV negative impacts • 11:50 Eumelanin's absorbs UV light • 12:10 Eumelanin's functions • 12:59 Eumelanin and Pheomelanin • 12:25 Light Skin v Dark Skin Phenotypes vis UV Light • If you like this and my other work, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/elywananda or www.elywananda.substack.com. By becoming a patron, you are helping to support my three main projects: • MindfulBlackDad.com • The purpose of the site is to be a directory of educational and inspirational content for parents and carers of children, particularly Black children. The idea for the site came out of my own early experience as a father of two Black boys. I spend many hours seeking out learning materials and I realised it would be a good idea to keep them in one place that can be easily shared with others. • https://www.mindfulblackdad.com • WeAreReading (regular live streams on YouTube) • It's been said that Black people don't read. Well, I am building a comprehensive African-centred education library called #WeAreReading of in-depth and interactive studies into African Philosophy, African Culture and African History books. I cover books from authors like Amos Wilson, Marimba Ani, Oyeronke Oyewumi, Frantz Fanon, Sobonfu Some, Kwame Nkrumah and more. I stream live on YouTube every weekend. After each live stream finishes, the full session is archived for patrons. • The Panafrican Science Podcast • This is a new podcast in which I will put out regular short-form videos focused on science and technology for a panafrican perspective. • • The Pan African Science Podcast • Any contributions I receive will be ploughed into these projects. My first aim is to simply cover costs - including web hosting, subscription to platforms I use, and maintaining and improving the hardware I use. Following this, I would like to reach a point where my work generates a level of income which will enable me to take time from my regular day job to increase the quality and quantity of content. Any contributions are welcome no matter the size, and no matter the frequency. Peace and blessings, Ely.
