 Hello Followers,

Welcome to Tuesday!

I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Did you know!

Melatonin also lowers stress reactivity and being outside will help your body naturally regulate melatonin, which can help reduce your stress level.

Additionally, because you are often doing something active when you are outside, that extra exercise also helps to lower stress.

And one of the best and easiest ways to get vitamin D is by being outside.

Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you are fair skinned.

And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered.

EATING BANANA AT NIGHT!

Did you know that eating a banana before bed can help you sleep better? 🍌💤 

According to findings referenced by the Sleep Foundation and supported by research from the National Institutes of Health, bananas are rich in nutrients that naturally promote restful sleep.

They contain tryptophan which your body uses to make melatonin and serotonin, magnesium which relaxes your muscles, potassium which calms your nervous system, and vitamin B6 which helps convert tryptophan into melatonin.

On top of that, the natural carbs in bananas help tryptophan reach your brain faster.

All of this works together to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.

So, if you are looking for a natural way to wind down,

try a banana an hour before bed. 🌙✨

In this imaginative meditation, experience the peaceful and warming energy of the sun.

Until Wednesday, keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.
