Did you know there are many benefits to getting outside for early morning sunshine? This time of year, that time is still getting earlier and earlier here in the northern hemisphere! The early morning sunshine has very low UV-B (ultra-violet) rays, so our skin will not burn at this time of day. What you will receive is UV-A and IR-A (infrared) light. These rays enhance and strengthen the skin which will support the skin for a day in the sun if you will be outside later on in the day. Early morning sun, which includes those UV-A and IR-A rays, will REGENERATE your Melatonin Cycle! Meaning = better sleep without reaching for a supplement! What else will taking in sunshine do for your health? Increase Vitamin D, Boost Cognitive Function, Reduces Depression, Supports Immune Health, Promotes Bone Health, and Promotes Longevity! Here are a few ways to get out this spring and summer to soak up the sun! Get up, take a walk, jog, do your yoga practice outside, and allow your skin and eyes to receive the early morning sun. If you have outdoor space, set up a spot to sit in meditation during this early time of the day to reap the benefits of early morning sun and improve your brain! Water your garden at this time of day for a time spent grounding with the earth, taking in the beauty of your garden (flowers and/or food), and collect the early morning sunshine. Already at work? Take a few minutes to go outside and allow the sun to wash over you on your morning break.
