Summer is Almost Here - Enjoy the Sunshine!
May 8, 2008
So many times we are reminded of the negative effects of the sun, we often forget about its positive effects. Do remember to wear your sunscreen, but don’t miss out on the positive benefits that sunlight exposure can provide for you.
The human mind and body is designed to respond to sunlight exposure. It helps you feel mentally alert, can support a healthy mood, and it helps strengthen your natural sleep and cycles.
For example, if you deprive yourself of sunlight by staying indoors for the duration of the day, your mind and body has trouble knowing when to wake up and stay alert, versus when to relax and go to sleep. All you need is roughly 15 minutes of sunlight a day. If you make the effort to achieve this healthy exposure time, you will feel refreshed, re-energized, and more balanced.
So step away from your computer, escape the neon lights, and enjoy the sunshine for a while. Mix up a cold glass of Neuro1 and drink it down as you enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Your mind and body will thank you.
