Do you make good use of sunshine, or are you indulged in indoors activities?

Sunshine provides costless energy for us. It keeps us warm, helps to dry clothing, assists absorbing calcium, and even heals our bad feelings. When I am low, a walk out under the sunshine quickly recovers me.

I try and take advantage of being outdoors whenever I can. My one Dr told me I should spend about 20 minutes minimum outdoors in the sunshine to boost my vitamin D levels and keep them right. I usually spend more time than that, but it was interesting to note that 20 minutes of direct sunshine would give a days worth of Vit. D! I've always thought of sunshine as an instant energy boost too. Natural light, the warmth, and all that just brings such joy to just be out in it. Here, where winter storms are harsh, it isn't as easy to get time in the sunshine. There's many cloudy, snowy days, where the sun doesn't shine at all. (Or rather, it still shines, but it can't pass through the clouds so it can be enjoyed.) Besides the sunshines value, I think it's important to be out to get the benefit of the fresh air, and just to enjoy nature and all that has to offer.

Thank you so much for your personal experience and observations. It is true that the fresh air outdoors are equally valuable for our health.

Not in this part of the world where I live. Going outdoors when the sun is at its peak is like being baked in the oven. It is too hot and I rather stay indoors when it is hot outside. We can only do our chores outside from 6am to 8am and the rest of the hours is too hot.

Sure in summer, it is not recommended to stay long outside. Thanks for responding.

i think it will depend upon the heat of the sunshine,because now a days its really not good to be in the under of sun rays because of the changing of it due to global warming,going to the sunshine doesn't make me recover,instead i get more low and weak because of the heat.
