The sun gets a lot of bad press in the summer...
It’s bad for our skin, we shouldn’t get too much and we need protection! There is some brand new research that is shedding some positive light on the sun now. It may actually help protect us from heart attack. The study looked at sun exposure, circadian rhythm and their effects on our heart health. Mice that were exposed to 3 hours of bright light in the morning were less prone to heart attack - and those who did have a coronary suffered less damage.
Getting a healthy dose of sun each day won’t require sunbathing. The benefits are actually received through the eyes – not the skin. That’s important because sunscreen and clothing won’t lessen the heart protection and we can even get our daily sun indoors, near a bright, sunny window
