Title:
Embracing Innocence and Air: A Look Back at Our Naturist Family Children’s Afternoon (Summer 2021)
Consider the role of stress. A "wellness lifestyle" rooted in body shaming creates immense psychological stress. Stress triggers cortisol, a hormone that, when chronically elevated, can lead to inflammation, sleep disturbances, and heart issues. Therefore, learning to accept and love your body isn't just a nice sentiment—it is a physiological intervention. By reducing the mental burden of shame, we improve our physical landscape.
I watched a boy, maybe eight years old, try to climb a tree. He slipped, bark scraping his bare shin. He froze, looked at the red welt, then looked at his mother. She gave a thumbs up. He shrugged and climbed again. There was no performative panic. No "be careful." Just resilience.
