Are you still feeling sluggish in week two of daylight saving time (DST) ? Sure, we lost an hour of precious sleep and most are still not sure what to do with the evening sunlight. Be patient on the Spring weather, there is much to gain..

FUN IN THE SUN . An hour more of sunlight and a crescendo of more hours as the Spring/Summer months evolve. There’s more time to escapade and galavant each evening to create more wonderful life experiences, through DST’s end on November 4th.

ENHANCED HEALTH . Sunlight and Vitamin D have a multitude of health benefits to include:

  • Increased metabolism (weight loss) – Hubba, Hubba!
  • Improved Digestion
  • Promotes absorption of calcium and bone health
  • Protects against some forms of cancer
  • Healthy neuro-muscular function
  • Enhanced liver function

The most powerful tool that sunlight has is the ability to change your mood and cheer you up helping to prevent anxiety and depression. Ten (10) minutes of sunlight per day provides the daily dosage of Vitamin D of 400IU. Dr. Oz recommends going up to 1,000 IU per day of Vitamin D.

GO AND STAY GREEN! . Sunlight helps reduce the electricity we use in the evenings, thus saving our planet energy? Beginning in 2007, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 brought most of the U.S. together to observe daylight saving time beginning the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November. Since then, multiple studies have been conducted to analyze the effects that DST does or doesn’t have on energy use.

Let your life experiences, health and green power shine more brightly in the eight (8) months of DST!
