I just read about a study saying human skin cells are best able to handle the sun’s UV rays in the morning. This Reader’s Digest article I read it in says it’s a DNA-protecting protein that seems to be at it’s highest level soon after waking up that makes the difference.
Obviously getting too much UV exposure is still dangerous BUT I think this makes a good reason to mow the lawn, work the garden, walk the dog or shovel the snow in the morning!
Just a random fact I enjoyed learning so I’m passing it on to you, my lovely readers! What time of day do you usually get out to do the yard work or tend the garden?
Interesting tidbit of info! Seems like the meditative practice of greeting the sun in the morning has more benefit than we realized. I do a lot of my gardening and outdoor time in the morning, during the week at least.
