In the winter season, when the sun comes out, it is a different pleasure to go outside and sit in the sun for a while. Sitting in this sun with moderate heat not only heats the body but is also very beneficial for health. Just as our body needs food, sunlight is also essential for our health and fitness. Food provides energy, while sunlight provides vitamin D, which is essential for bone growth and strength. Also, it helps fight diseases by increasing the body's immune system. So it is very important to sit in the sun for some time every day even in winter.

Vitamin D

Sun exposure in winter provides vitamin D. However, our body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. This vitamin is very important for our bones as it strengthens bones by helping in calcium absorption. Vitamin D deficiency weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Winter sun is rich in vitamin D, which keeps bones strong and healthy.

It gives strength to fight against diseases

It boosts our immunity which makes our body able to fight different types of diseases and infections. In the winter season, it quickly falls under the grip of the disease.

The mood is good

Being in the sun causes the body to release hormones called endorphins which help improve our mood. These hormones relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. Being in the light of the sun makes our mind calmer and happier.

Benefits the skin

Even your face glows if you sit in the sun in winter. Sun has antibacterial properties that help clear up acne.

Help in weight loss

Sun exposure is a natural way to control weight. Sun exposure along with exercise helps in reducing body weight as it increases our calorie burn.

When to sit in the sun

If you want to get vitamin D from the sun, then the sun before 8 am is considered suitable for this, just 10 minutes of sun exposure at this time is enough.
