We all know that exercise is amazing for our physical and mental wellbeing.
But you may not know a simple little hack that will make it even MORE beneficial for your health and wellbeing…
Take your exercise OUTSIDE.
By doing so, you can take advantage of the myriad other benefits of sunlight at the same time (and if you’re anything like me, I’m sure you LOVE any chance to effectively multitask!).
These are benefits you won’t get from exercising at a gym or indoors (not to mention there are no sweaty gym-bros at Goddess ?) – we need that glorious sunlight!
1?? Boost Your Mood: Morning sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone, making you start your day with a positive vibe.
2?? Vitamin D: Sunlight is a natural source of Vitamin D, essential for strong bones, a healthy immune system and improved overall well-being.
3?? Enhanced Sleep Quality: Exposure to morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, promoting better sleep patterns and a more restful night.
4?? Increased Energy Levels: Sunlight stimulates the production of cortisol, giving you a natural energy boost and increased alertness to kickstart your day.
And as Andrew Huberman @hubermanlab, a world-renowned expert on sunlight (and many other aspects of health – go check out his podcast if you’re not already a fan!), points out, there IS sunlight on cloudy days too and, in fact, it’s especially important to view sunlight on those days.
So, if you think improving your sleep quality and mood, increasing your energy and pumping more feel-good hormones through your body sounds like something you need in your life, then get yourself to Goddess where you’ll get all that (and more!).
