 Use common sense. It is not natural to lie about in the sun, it is a very recent phenomenon, largely  limited to young people in western countries. Traditional dress in hot countries is long sleeved and almost sweeps the sand for many adults. Hats or other head covering goes with the territory.

+  * nuts and seeds  (for example: almonds,  macadamia, pine, pecan, pistachio, hazelnut)
+  * whole grain products without added vitamin D or folate. N.B. many people have problems with wheat. Other grains are better.
+  * [[.:food:artificial_sweeteners#sugar_alcohols_are_acceptable|sugar alcohols]] and some artificial sweeteners, such as stevia, maltitol and xylitol. Sugar alcohols can cause stomach upset, so use sparingly at first.

+In part, a fiber-rich diet may help reduce inflammation by lowering body weight. High-fiber foods also feed beneficial bacteria living in the gut, which then release substances that promote lower levels of inflammation body-wide.

+A 2009 review published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, reported 25 to 54 percent lower CRP levels in people who not only ate a high-fiber diet, but who also lost weight and ate more healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. In another study, men who ate a lot more fruits and vegetables – going from two servings to eight per day – lowered their CRP levels by one-third.

-. Soft & Safe hoodie, pants.
-__Project work__:
+==== Immune suppression ====
-I met with a contractor that has experience installing copper screen for Faraday cages at local hospital MRI facilities to review the copper screen installation details. Based on discussions I ordered 4 copper screen rolls, 0.0045” wire, 100 mesh, 72” width, 100 feet per roll. So, there has been progress on that project. Work will likely be scheduled in January, though.
-This week I made 2 copper screen socks/booties with double copper screen layers, using kevlar quilt stitching to protect against ripping the internal screens. For the socks/booties I used bamboo 81# for the top and bottom fabric layers with a draw string elastic at the top to snug it up. Since socks are the toughest application and I can wear them every day without neuro IP, these socks will be a good test for garment performance longevity. I am wearing these 24/7 with other socks inside for comfort and warmth (and to keep toenails from destroying them). Conductivity was 0.2 ohms or lower.
+'vitamin' D is surprisingly immune suppressant.  It has been reported that a little more than 3 months after commencing Krill oil (or approximately 5000 IU of Vitamin D) to alleviate  the  symptoms  of  osteoarthritis  in his  knees, a sarcoidosis patient suffered an acute cardiac episode.
-I have started to wear the copper pants and hoodie 24/7, pulling the copper screen hood down when neuro IP becomes onerous, but leaving the hood up for a 66# silk hoodie worn over the copper hoodie just for some protection (only measures 0.5 ohms). I think with this transition workaround I can tough it out; so far no serious problem.
+==== Other ====
-Based on experience with the first copper screen hoodie and pants, design improvements used in the new copper screen socks/booties, and hood added to repair the old Soft&Safe hoodie, I ordered a full roll of the 0.0012” wire, 100 mesh copper screen. The new pants and hoodie will use two copper screen layers, kevlar thread quilting, top and bottom silk 66# layers, fabric reinforcing for crotch, knee, and elbow stress zones. Yes, a space suit. Later I might add copper screen shielding mittens. Buying a full roll brings down the copper screen square foot cost to $7.00.
