Cool weather sunbathing🌥

As the days get shorter, there are still benefits to getting outside

Hi,

I hope your Fall season🍃is off to a great start🚀! Today's natural living tip is that this is a great time to... sunbathe!?

Sunlight has a higher proportion of healing infrared rays at 6am than at noon.

Yes, it turns out that exposing skin to low-intensity sunlight has many benefits. For example:

• solar preconditioning early in the morning gives up to SPF 15 protection for the rest of the day

• infrared light boosts collagen production in the skin (goodbye wrinkles!)

• any amount of light boosts availability of ATP energy in the skin

• solar post-conditioning in the evening speeds up healing of any skin damage from the day

• cool weather releases feel-good endorphins

So, even though you can't get Vitamin D when the sunlight is low in the sky, you should still get out!

That's all for today, but you can always review the archive. I will send more research about "smart solar exposure" in my upcoming emails📩.
