BeneFits of the Sun!

With warm weather approaching, we all enjoy spending more and more time outdoors in the sun.

Here are some benefits you can receive by spending moderated time with our big yellow friend:

– 15 to 30 minutes in the sun activates the production of vitamin D, which strengthens our bones and limits the risk of osteoporosis

– Lowers of blood pressure and reduces heart disease

– Fights insomnia: outdoor light promotes the production of melatonin the hormone needed for sleep

– Increases dopamine and gives skin a healthy glow from increased vitamin D levels

– Stimulates our cognitive functions and reaction time

– Gets us motivated to spend time exercising outdoors! Most people want to be outside when it’s sunny.

In short, the sun really does improve our daily health.
However, let’s be careful not to overdo it! As it can be dangerous to expose yourself to the sun for too long.

Have a happy, healthy, sun filled day!
