Sunshine is a precious gift of nature that helps us feel good, both for physical and mental health. All living things on the planet, both plants and animals need light and warmth to develop and live well.
The benefits of the sun are many, so I will just list a few of them:
*Sunshine promotes the production of serotonin, the so-called “feel-good hormone.”
*It promotes mental health, helps improve our mood, reduces stress and depression.
*Sunlight regulates our wake-sleep cycle.
*Exposure to the sun helps us improve sleep.
*The sun’s rays stimulate the production of vitamin D, which is necessary for the metabolism of our bones as well as calcium production.
*The sun warms us up on cold days, promoting health and well-being.
*It is good for our muscles, joints and skin.
*It promotes tanning and makes us look better.
*It helps improve some dermatological conditions, such as psoriasis, some forms of dermatitis, eczema, acne and other skin conditions.
*It prevents ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
***To avoid sunburn and the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, it is necessary not to expose oneself to the sun during the hottest hours. It is recommended to protect our head with a hat; our skin with sunscreen, and our eyes with good sunglasses.
