Let's shead some light on the subject!

Many people start their day before the sun rises and then don't get out of the offices or the house until the sun is getting ready to go DOWN. The sun and its light are a key element of your health.

Your body receives vitamin D from the sun.

Sunlight can help prevent periodontal disease.

A lack of sunlight can cause Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues. It is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms. The US National Library of Medicine notes that "some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change. They may sleep too much, have little energy, and crave sweets and starchy foods. They may also feel depressed.

Often when you are sick, getting in the sun will begin to help your body feel better.
