100 Days, 100 Ways Day 18: Bring Some Sunlight Into Your Life

They say that if you want the best Vitamin D in the world you have to make it yourself. 10 minutes a day out in the sunlight is enough to make that Vitamin D happen naturally. It seems that all mammals can synthesize Vitamin D from cholesterol when sun exposure is adequate, thus called the "sunshine vitamin". It does wonders for your bones, it helps prevent rickets. However, I am not solely talking about the health benefits of walking out in the sunlight.

As we start approaching winter and the days get shorter and the nights get longer (which happens to be my favorite time of year) it is even more important to step outside and get re-vitalized, re-energized. The Sun as if by magic can transform you into a new person. It's true! Ever remember just one time, when you were a kid, that you were not happy being outside in the sun, playing and running? You felt more alive then than most people do now.

You can feel the warmth of the Sun bring new life and new hope, plus the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D into your body. So get out there and enjoy those rays, your bones will appreciate it.

I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.

Thank you,
