Healthy Sunlight

SUNLIGHT

Sunlight is so vital to human health that one could write volumes to explain how intimately connected the two are. To keep it simple, one should know that there are eight basic ways to maintain proper health:

1. Pure air

2. Pure water

3. Pure food

4. Detoxification

5. Sunlight/energy balance

6. Exercise

7. Pure mind

8. Pure spirit

The sunlight-generated energy that our bodies are exposed to is extremely important to human health. I have summarized some of the many beneficial effects that sunlight has on our health.

Sunlight:

Decreases blood pressure

Decreases resting heart rate

Decreases cholesterol

Decreases blood sugar

Increases energy, endurance and muscular strength

Increases body's resistance to infection (increases white blood cell count, i.e.: lymphocytes and phagocytes)

Increases tolerance to stress

Increases sex hormones

Regular gradual exposure to sunlight has a very similar effect on the body as regular exercise and even has shown measurable increase in physical fitness.

A cholesterol drop of 13 percent was recorded in a study of 30 patients after just one sunlight treatment. One case study showed a female age 65 was given four successive days of sunlight treatment with no other changes in diet or lifestyle. Her cholesterol dropped from 333 to 221.
