National Nude Day
July 14
On this holiday, people remove all of their clothing. This is done not only for the freedom it provides but also to celebrate the beauty of the human body and to embrace naturism. This day originated in New Zealand – where it was a huge success – but quickly spread to other Western countries.
As the name of this holiday suggests, it’s a day on which people are
encouraged to remove all of their clothing and enjoy their nakedness.
Not only does the act of being naked make a person feel free, but it’s
also a good way to cool off on a hot day - and there are pretty good odds
that the 14th of July is likely to be a hot day in many parts of the world.
It’s also a good day for people to embrace naturism and to think about how they connect to the rest of nature. This holiday originated in New Zealand—where
it was highly successful—but has quickly spread to other Western
countries. Now, it’s celebrated on just about every continent.
History

Modern humans have been around for approximately 350,000 years, and
for most of that time, they were nude. At some point, they lost the hair
that protected them from the sun and insect bites—the same hair
covering other primates. Scientists aren’t sure why they lost the hair,
but it’s believed that hunting wild game required early humans to run
long distances, which required them to have a way to cool off under the
African sun.
Not having hair allowed them to perspire more easily, which can help lower body
temperature. However, not having body hair also required that humans
adopt some form of clothing to protect themselves from the environment.
Scientists estimate that approximately 83,000 years ago, some humans
began to wear some form of clothing. This likely occurred in Africa to protect humans from the sun.
Around this same time, clothing evolved alongside body adornment such as body paint, jewelry, and eventually tattoos.
Scientists came up with this timeline by observing that clothing lice
diverged from head lice at approximately that time. It’s believed that
wearing clothing was a behavioral adaptation, one that protected humans
from the sun and the cold in colder climates.
Benefits Of Nudity
Several studies have discovered there are certain health benefits to nudity. We discovered these benefits while we were researching this holiday. Some of these benefits include:
* Lower risk of Alzheimer’s in people who run barefoot. It’s believed walking barefoot stimulates neurons in the brain.* Higher levels of Vitamin D in the body—due to more sun exposure by the skin.
* Better circulation - circulation is often restricted by clothing.
