Our ancestors weren’t afraid of the sun, and we shouldn’t be either. The modern fear of skin cancer has sadly maligned the sunshine, which we actually need in order to function at our best. Obviously, we need to use common sense when it comes to being in the sun’s rays, but the benefits are huge when we spend a little time outside. Letting the sun’s rays hit your arms, legs, and torso can raise your levels of Vitamin D (actually more of a prohormone than a vitamin), improve your mood, bolster your immune system, fine-tune your circadian rhythm (internal clock), and speed your blood circulation. If you’re young, and light-skinned, aim for 15-20 minutes of sun exposure, go for slightly more if you’re older or have deeper pigmented skin.

Catching some rays may be hard to do considering where some of us live, but when the sun/partly cloudy days appear get outside and soak it up!
