Sunlight Sunday - Get outside and breathe fresh air!

Not only is getting outside for the precious sunlight important but fresh air is essential for health.

Breathing in fresh air can help to reduce airborne illness and infection. This is because bacteria and viruses have a reduced chance of survival in fresh air. This is in comparison to warm, humid, indoor environments in which they thrive.

Fresh air has been shown to help digest food more effectively, improve blood pressure and heart rate, strengthen the immune system, reduce obesity rates, and strengthen family ties, all leading to a healthier you.

Think about with your family on a beautiful day and having a picnic. Isn't that bonding? It brings you closer together and you are improving your physical health as well!

Get outside and take someone you care about with you!
