Let the sunlight in…
Did you know that the right amount of Sun is a crucial ingredient for overall health? Protection against inflammation, lowers blood pressure, improves brain function, and builds muscle. Sounds beneficial huh? Makes you want to open the blinds to your home? Yep. Unlike artificial light, it can extend your work days but it has no other health benefits. If you have a light bill, well you know that artificial light will cost you.
The people you hang out with can have the same effect. If you are in good company, you can be protected from harmful things and people. Good friends protect you from stress, and help you grow as a person. Good friends remind you to rest. Good laughs from good friends reduces blood pressure which changes your mood and overall health. So yeah staying close to people who feel like sunlight is not a bad idea. Watch out for those who make you do more work and cost you more than you would rather spend whether it's time or money.
Happy Friday! Let your light shine, and let the sunlight in my friend!
