Benefits of UV Light

Written quotes throughout the video cover various benefits of sunshine.

Behind the production is the UV Foundation: "The UV Foundation is committed to funding educational efforts designed to increase the public awareness of the biologic effects of ultraviolet light."

Also, information on research behind the benefits of sunshine can be found in
the book by Dr. Holick, "The UV Advantage"

"In a review article published in The New England Journal of Medicine July 18th, Dr. Holick explores the nature of vitamin D deficiency and concludes it to be one of the most commonly unrecognized medical conditions, a condition that leaves millions at risk of developing not only osteoporosis and fractures but also numerous serious and often fatal diseases, including several common cancers, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and heart disease."

So, have you had your 'sunshine' today? ^_^

Music and The Soul's Health

Have you ever used music to improve your mood, or to relax? Music can energize, soothe, and help with creativity. Whether it's a basic beat or a complex symphony, music has been part of humanity since time immemorial.

From a full range of Classical, to Classic Rock, and from Folk, Pop, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Swing, and the ancient forms barely remembered, there's music to express everyone's cultural heritage and personality. Even, (dare we mention it)..., the Chicken Dance, if it suits your fancy!

Here is a blog on music. It's just starting out, but what it has is great: Forever Great: Music

Understanding

“Teaching is more than imparting knowledge,
it is inspiring change.

Learning is more than absorbing facts,
it is acquiring understanding.”

~~William Arthur Ward
