Humans evolved with the sun. Our ancestors spent most of their lives outside. The sun helped to provide warmth and rhythm to their days.

Our planet also needs the sun, it plays a crucial role in providing light, weather, climate, seasons, and ocean currents.

Plants require it for growth and photosynthesis.

Yet, these days there is so much fear surrounding spending time in the sun.

 

Yes, excessive time spent in the sun has negative effects, so it's once again about finding that magical middle. We need enough time spent outside to gain the health benefits but not too much time that you burn your skin.

 

You may not realise how many different menopausal symptoms may be improved by sunshine therapy? The list includes reduced frequency and intensity of hot flushes, prevention of early menopause, improved sleep, reducing your stress response, more energy, better bones, happier moods, and more.
