More About Fresh Air and Sunshine

Left to man's own devices and plans, we will shut God's natural ways out of our lives. It may be unintentional or out of ignorance, but it doesn't work. In the case of sunshine, light, whether in the spiritual or physical realms darkness will bring death whereas light gives life!

For many years now man has increasingly left out natural light in their daily lives by replacing it with artificial. We've even gone so far as to leave windows out of our buildings! Architecture has changed to the dark side of things supposedly to help the human being out only to discover now that they need to let the light in. Opening up the structures they build whether offices or homes by placing more windows in them or larger windows in them has proven to lighten up and relax the people who operate or live in them! It has been proven that children have lower academic levels because of school buildings that have no windows. The same is so hospitals. God knows we need light and He gave us the sunlight.

Sunlight is medicine. It heals. Life comes from the sun. Just watch a plant grow or a garden blossom. We are like the plant. We need to the sunlight! Think of activities that will get you outdoors. Ten minutes outdoors can make a difference; 20 or 30 minutes is even better. The best times for being out in the sun are early in the morning until about ten and then again in the late afternoon. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. is the worse time of day for being in the sun as this is when the rays of the sun are much more intense and will be more damaging to the skin.

Even if you have to write "time in the sun" on your calendar or on your to-do list daily so that you will remember to do it, spend time in the fresh air and sunshine! Make a choice for life!

Here's to your health!
