Sunlight for Better Health

Get some of that beautiful sunlight during what remains of summer! Anytime before 10 am, try to get outside, even if it is just on your porch, balcony, etc., and turn your face towards that sun! Do this for 15 minutes each day. Sunlight not only helps charge our “batteries” (our mitochondria, also known as the little factories in each cell that produce our energy), but it helps us make serotonin, our “happy” chemical. Sunlight is also an important factor in our body’s production of vitamin D, which is necessary for bones, blood cells, and the immune system.
