“A LINK between sleeping in colder temperatures and lower blood sugar levels, which in turn prevents Type 2 diabetes, has been found in an American Diabetic Association study.  Scientists discovered that when participants slept naked their body temperature fell, while their metabolic health improved.” – Clare O’Reilly, http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/6615651/The-health-benefits-of-going-nude.html?utm_content=buffera6d78&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“The roots of cultural opposition to nudity in Western civilization go back at least two thousand years to the ancient near East. . . Except sometimes for poverty or servitude, no other association with nudity is recognized except for sexuality.  Hence nudity itself if considered to be inherently ‘lewd’, ‘indecent’, and ‘immoral’. . . This cultural prejudice certainly has to be opposed by education and positive messages about nudity.  The prevailing opinion about nudity itself has to be changed, so that it is rightly understood as something wholesome, pleasurable, enjoyable, rewarding, relaxing, and just plain ‘good’ in and of itself, rather than a sexual adventure.” - https://www.facebook.com/groups/nuddism/

“There's no shame in being naked.  Living a nudist lifestyle is a personal choice.  I'm open to it and do not judge others so long as one is respectful of other's need of privacy.” – Nudistsinglenet, http://www.vogue.com/13485903/male-nude-sunbathing-vacation-tom-brady-orlando-bloom-justin-bieber/

“Peace, Nature and Naked – that’s how we all should live.” - https://benudetoday.wordpress.com/

“After the guests were settled in . . . it was show time for my first nude public speaking event.  Standing nude on stage in front of a room full of nude people, I immediately felt relaxed and excited. . . Looking into the eyes and hearts of the beautiful people that night, I forgot about being nude. . . We were all there to make a statement to the world that bodies are nothing to be ashamed of, and with none of the social barriers that clothing provides, we spent the evening making real emotional connections with one another. . . I am so grateful for the people at my book launch event, and I am proud to say that we spent the evening in laughter, in encouragement, in happy defiance of society, and in empowerment — and the openness of public speaking in the nude made it even better.” – Sandra LaMorgese, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sandra-lamorgese-phd/public-speaking-nude_b_12099540.html?platform=hootsuite
