If you live in a polluted city, spend most of your time indoors, have no plants at home or live in a northern climate, then chances are that you are not getting adequate amounts of sunlight exposure and fresh air as you should.
Sunlight and the exposure to the sun are essential to our health, as well as to your emotional and mental well being. Similar to diet, proper nutrition, exercise and sleep, a controlled and moderate daily exposure to the sun and to adequate amounts of fresh air are two important foundations of good health.
While the amount of exposure to sunlight and fresh air are mostly out of our control, here are a few tips that will help you increase your exposure to clean oxygen and immune/vitamin D boosting sunlight:
1. Take short 10-15 minutes daily sun baths, provided that you do not get burned and already have significantly altered your diet.
2. If you live in a northern climate or in a cloudy place you can order full spectrum light boxes. These light bulbs mimic the sunlight and have been shown to have the same beneficial effect as natural sunlight.
3. Grow plants in your home. Plants cleanse the air by filtering and oxygenating the air.
4. Sleep with your window open as much as possible.
5. Get out of the city occasionally.
6. Practice deep, slow and rhythmic breathing on a daily basis.
