How to Boost Your Energy From The Sun #5 of 7S's

A Higher Branch

Humans are solar powered creatures. Our skin and our eyes serve as solar panels for the absorption of UV rays that stimulate the production of many hormones including Vitamin D (which is in fact a hormone), human growth hormones. Vitamin D has over 3000 functions in our body ranging from immune system to mood boosting. The ultimate benefits of the sun include higher energy, better gut health and deeper sleep powered by hormones such as serotonin and melatonin.

Getting sun is just as important as breathing and water. Its an essential nutrient. We need to chase the sun!
