Sunshine – “Nature itself is the best physician”
Sunshine reduces stress and boosts mood. It is good for the brain, bone and immune health. It helps improve sleep, regulates appetite and metabolism. It helps skin produce vitamin D. Lack of vitamin D especially in the winter months is associated with lower immune system and depression. Sunlight can not only improve your mood, but also create optimism, and better support your immune system’s ability to fight off foreign invaders and cancerous cells. Just 20 minutes of sunshine per day triggers your body to release over 200 antimicrobials that fight fungi, parasites and viruses. There is no doubt that sunshine is the best medicine.
