Six Steps to a Healthier You - Fresh Air and Sunshine, Part 1

Natural skin care products are good for you. But they are not enough. It seems like these days there are more and more opportunities to stay OUT of the fresh air and sunshine. We go from our heated or air-conditioned homes directly into our heated or air-conditioned garages to get into our heated or air-conditioned cars to drive to our indoor parking garage that leads to a heated or air-conditioned elevator that takes us to our heated or air-conditioned work place. When we do take time to work out and get some exercise, we often go to the gym or the spa or some other indoor facility. When we look for entertainment, we go to indoor events. Even rodeos are often inside.

Our kids go to schools where the windows are closed and the lightening is artificial. We cover the windows in our homes with drapes and curtains and blinds. We usually keep the windows closed. We don’t venture outside as often as we should. We stay inside and read or watch TV or talk on the phone or surf the net. Sometimes when we go camping, we even stay in self-contained RV’s, often with the windows closed. We cook inside and eat inside, even at the campground. Somehow we seem to have gotten afraid of fresh air and sunshine. If we get cold, we might catch cold. We think we’d better stay inside just in case.
