Walkin' On Sunshine

Have you ever noticed that when your body is feeling the worst, sometimes taking a walk in the sunshine (or even just sitting in it for awhile) can make you feel so much better?   There may be a few reasons for this;

• Sunshine increases circulation. Increased circulation can help relieve muscle aches and pain as well as decreasing inflammation.
• Heat loosens muscles.  Being outside in the warmth naturally helps you relax.
• Sunlight helps to regulate hormone levels that can improve mood.  Pain that is worsened by psychological factors may be decreased by improved mood and/or outlook on life.  
• The body produces Vitamin D in the sunlight. Vitamin D may play a role in pain relief.  Check out this brochure to learn more.

In many areas, the temperature is warming and there is more incentive to enjoy the outdoors.  So head outside for a walk in the sun and see how you feel afterward!
