Let the Sun Shine in For Better Health
HOLBROOK, NY – It’s that time of year again. That time when we begin to really notice that the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.
Ever wonder why this thought inspires a mild case of dread? It’s there... lurking in the back of your mind, isn’t it? Summer’s over. Time to "hunker down" until spring.
Feeling depressed yet? You’re not alone. There’s a real, scientifically proven reason why we all dread the coming of winter.
You see, people are not all that different from plants when it comes to needing sunlight to thrive. We all crave it. We need it. Natural light is as essential to your health as food and water. Medical science has recently proven that there are a host of reasons man needs light; it:
- Regulates our internal body clocks
- Helps fight disease and bacteria
- Fights depression
- Increases our productivity
- Is the number one cure for symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder
- Literally, makes us feel better, and healthier
- In fact, sunlight therapy goes all the way back to the time of Hippocrates and was promoted by Florence Nightingale as a cure for a host of illnesses.
In this day and age, most of us live our days under artificial light, particularly in fall and winter. We spend less time exposed to natural light than primitive cave-dwellers and exhibit symptoms of. "Malillumination", a condition analogous to malnutrition.
So, what can we do about it? We can break down our walls of two-by-fours, insulation and plywood and bring more light into our homes. We would all be healthier if we had a place in our homes where we can get every second of natural light available from the sun. We need a room made of transparent glass, rather than opaque wood, metal and stone. We need to add a sunroom to our homes and our lives.
Of course, any sunroom will let more natural light into our lives, but an ordinary glass room addition will also let in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter. We need a glass room addition that can be heated and cooled just like the rest of our home. And there’s only one company that makes such a room: Four Seasons Sunrooms.
