Do you realize the extraordinary gift that God has given us in the sun that many of us has just taken it for granted? Sunlight gives the environment essential things for our existence by enabling plants to create oxygen and carbon dioxide and its rays regulates temperature and humidity at life supporting level.

What is the body fuel that gives animals life most of its energy, isn’t it from simple sugar called glucose? And, where can we get the more complex form of that sugar? From plants that we eat, right? How can plant exist without the help of the sun for its photosynthesis?

A simple question from a kid, “Why is it that sun has been the center of the universe?” May cause you to think more of its importance not just on earth or in our galaxy, but its importance in the whole universe, right?

All the things mentioned above  just proves how important the sun is to us, that without the sun we will not exist.

Now, lets focus on the sun’s health giving properties that promotes health and healing for our personal needs. Moderate sunlight gives you healthier skin. However, too much of it can damage the skin. As the sun touches your skin, your body makes vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, which is essential to your health. And, as the sunlight enters your eyes, it improves body functions, stimulating the hypothalamus, pineal glands, pituitary gland, along with the neurotransmitters of the brain. Sunlight is good for your nerves too. It elevates your mood and probably increases the endorphins, which is responsible of making you feel happy and invigorated.

Just like exercise, sunlight strengthens your heart and boost your immune system. Not only that it helps heal certain illnesses by killing its causative agent, the germs. Tuberculosis, Strep throat, pneumonia and leprosy are just some of it.

Moderate exposure to sun early in the morning for up to 30 minutes a day is so beneficial to our health. However, the same ultraviolet rays that gives us lots of benefits can also be harmful to our body. Too much exposure to sun, especially between 10AM to 3PM , will lead to premature skin aging, sunburn and even cancer.
