Are you shunning the sun??


Sunlight is one of the most important aspects of nutrition. It gives LIFE. Make sure you expose yourself to the vital rays of the sun at least 20-30 minutes in a day. Early morning and evening when the sun is not too bright is the best time to sunbathe and sungaze as the harmful rays of the sun are practically non-existent. It helps in improving your health, skin, health of the joints and so on. People suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis or any other joint problem must do sunbathing for half an hour daily. If the sun is too bright do not look at it directly, as the retina of the eye can easily be damaged. Sunlight is also the only source of active vitamin D which is essential for the absorption of calcium in our body. Also I am quite reluctant to use sunblock creams. Its better to cover the exposed part rather then applying chemical rich cream to our skin when going out in scorching sun. Whatever it is, please don't shun the SUN!!
