☀️ Why Vitamin D & Sunlight Are Essential

🌞 Growing up in sunny New Mexico, I was always fearful of the sun since I spent so much time outdoors. The moment I stepped outside, my sunglasses went on my head. When insomnia, eyesight struggles, and hormonal issues started creeping in, I began researching the healing power of the sun.

Now, I even go outside in the early morning and “sun my eyes” (closing them and letting natural sunlight soak into my eye area). The difference has been life-changing—better sleep, more balance, improved eyesight and a natural energy boost. And the best part? This big fireball in the sky is completely free medicine! Even on cloudy days, natural light is vital—maybe even more so.

☀️✨ The sun doesn’t just light our world—it heals it! Thank the Lord his creation!

Vitamin D helps absorb calcium & phosphorus.
Prevents brittle bones, rickets, or osteoporosis.

2. Immune System Boost

Deficiency linked to depression & Seasonal Affective Disorder.

4. Muscle & Energy

Aids strength, movement, and prevents fatigue.

5. Chronic Disease Protection

Healthy levels lower risk of heart disease, diabetes & some cancers.

6. Why Sunglasses & Sunblock Matter

Sunglasses: Block natural sunlight from reaching the retina. This signal helps the brain trigger Vitamin D production & regulate circadian rhythm.
Sunblock: Even SPF 15 can block 90–99% of UVB rays — the exact rays your skin needs to produce Vitamin D.
Occasional, short sun exposure without sunblock is the most natural way to maintain Vitamin D.
