Welcome again to "Secrets
to Wellness" my friends.
00:00:21.72\00:00:25.39
We are studying
"Principles of Wellness"
00:00:25.42\00:00:28.96
that's going to help you to live
longer, healthier and happier.
00:00:28.99\00:00:33.76
We've covered a
number of things, water,
00:00:33.80\00:00:37.30
are you drinking your 8-
8oz. glasses of water every day?
00:00:37.33\00:00:41.80
I hope so because it is going
to help you in your health.
00:00:41.84\00:00:46.01
And what about exercise?
00:00:46.04\00:00:47.98
Are you spending at least 30
minutes a day, 5 days a week?
00:00:48.01\00:00:52.48
And we have learned that love
and trust in God is a powerful
00:00:52.51\00:00:58.25
healer. And the power of love
is amazing, it helps our health.
00:00:58.29\00:01:03.63
And then, we learned
some lifestyle principle.
00:01:03.66\00:01:07.00
We talked about nutrition
and eating a plant based diet
00:01:07.03\00:01:10.63
of fruits, nuts,
grains, and vegetables.
00:01:10.67\00:01:13.07
And then how
important the environment is.
00:01:13.10\00:01:16.30
And now we're going
to next study Sunlight.
00:01:16.34\00:01:19.81
And there was something amazing
that happened on August 21,
00:01:19.84\00:01:25.28
just this last year of 2017.
00:01:25.31\00:01:29.95
Some people watched by
television and many many people
00:01:38.83\00:01:43.80
saw it live.
00:01:43.83\00:01:45.17
The sun is amazing my friends,
it is the largest star at the
00:01:45.20\00:01:49.97
center of the Solar System.
00:01:50.04\00:01:51.67
It is the brightest
object in the earth's sky.
00:01:51.71\00:01:55.94
Have you ever thought
about large and how big
00:01:55.98\00:01:59.25
the sun actually is?
00:01:59.28\00:02:01.68
and how far away it is?
00:02:01.72\00:02:03.49
The sun is ninety three
million miles from the earth
00:02:03.52\00:02:07.36
yet it is the most
important source of energy
00:02:07.39\00:02:10.86
for life on earth.
00:02:10.93\00:02:12.26
It's an important factor
for life right on here on earth.
00:02:12.29\00:02:16.23
The sun is ninety
three million miles away
00:02:16.30\00:02:21.44
and yet it is something
we need for our health.
00:02:21.47\00:02:25.24
In fact the sun is 109
times larger than the earth.
00:02:25.27\00:02:30.31
A million earths
could fit inside the sun.
00:02:30.35\00:02:33.58
Have you ever thought
about how big the sun it?
00:02:33.62\00:02:37.55
It doesn't seem that big when
you are looking up into the sky.
00:02:37.59\00:02:41.22
But we could fit a
million earths inside the sun.
00:02:41.26\00:02:46.33
And the sun and the light of
the sun and its heat influence
00:02:46.36\00:02:51.10
all of the objects
in the solar system.
00:02:51.13\00:02:53.47
Without the sun, life
on earth would not exist.
00:02:53.50\00:02:57.44
We need the sun just to
exist here on planet earth.
00:02:57.47\00:03:02.34
And the all-powerful Creator
of the universe causes the sun
00:03:02.38\00:03:07.32
to rise and sets on time.
00:03:07.35\00:03:10.12
Think about it, every
day the sun comes up on time
00:03:10.19\00:03:14.86
and the sun sets on time.
00:03:14.89\00:03:20.10
So we have
order in the universe.
00:03:20.13\00:03:23.33
And with all the
spectacular aspects of the sun,
00:03:23.37\00:03:27.60
our loving Creator has
created for us the sunlight
00:03:27.64\00:03:33.24
to benefit our health.
00:03:33.27\00:03:34.64
The sunlight is to benefit our
health but sometimes many of us
00:03:34.68\00:03:38.38
don't even get out
in the sunlight because
00:03:38.41\00:03:41.22
we are living indoors.
00:03:41.25\00:03:42.98
Sunlight is a revalation
my friends of God's love.
00:03:43.02\00:03:47.56
God says, I love you so
much that I've given you the
00:03:47.62\00:03:52.03
sunlight, I've given you
the flowers, I've given you all
00:03:52.06\00:03:55.10
these good things.
00:03:55.13\00:03:56.46
And yes my friends,
sunlight is another prescription
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.57
for abundant health
right from The Garden of Eden.
00:04:00.64\00:04:04.24
Right from the beginning of
creation, God gave us sunlight.
00:04:04.31\00:04:09.91
In Ministry of
Healing, page 263 it says this.
00:04:09.94\00:04:14.22
The pure air, the glad sunshine,
the wonderful sunshine,
00:04:14.25\00:04:19.75
the beautiful flowers,
and the trees, the orchards
00:04:19.79\00:04:23.32
and the vineyards and outdoor
exercise amid these surroundings
00:04:23.36\00:04:27.50
are health
giving and life giving.
00:04:27.50\00:04:29.93
So have you ever thought about
the sun as a health giving,
00:04:29.96\00:04:34.80
life giving remedy to keep
you living to that healthy 100?
00:04:34.84\00:04:40.24
Yes, we need the glad
sunshine, every day we need that
00:04:40.28\00:04:45.38
glad sunshine.
00:04:45.41\00:04:46.78
And you know, I
know that we need it too.
00:04:46.82\00:04:49.28
And I was thinking about
that when I was thinking of
00:04:49.32\00:04:52.52
great memories in life.
00:04:52.55\00:04:54.12
Of course a great memory in
life...one great memory for us
00:04:54.16\00:04:58.93
is to be with our grandchildren.
00:04:58.96\00:05:00.73
These are our
five grandchildren,
00:05:00.76\00:05:03.40
five beautiful,
wonderful grandchildren.
00:05:03.47\00:05:06.53
Dyson in the middle,
the oldest and then Claire
00:05:06.57\00:05:10.51
on the other end and then
Shea and Aden and little Evelyn.
00:05:10.54\00:05:17.45
These five precious little
children bring great memories.
00:05:17.48\00:05:21.75
And you know what, we
need those great memories
00:05:21.78\00:05:25.65
to be healthy in life as well.
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.72
But I think
about other memories.
00:05:27.76\00:05:29.66
I think of the 50 years
ago when my husband and I
00:05:29.69\00:05:34.36
were married.
00:05:34.36\00:05:35.70
This last year we celebrated
our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
00:05:35.73\00:05:40.70
That's a great
memory, it's been a great life
00:05:40.74\00:05:43.97
and so our children ask us,
you know this is a once in a
00:05:44.01\00:05:48.18
lifetime event, what
would you like to do?
00:05:48.21\00:05:51.18
What special thing
would you like to do
00:05:51.21\00:05:53.78
on your 50th
wedding anniversary?
00:05:53.82\00:05:55.88
And we said to them, we
would like to be with all of our
00:05:55.92\00:05:59.89
children, our grandchildren,
and we'd like to be outdoors.
00:05:59.92\00:06:04.26
We'd like to be
out in the sunshine.
00:06:04.29\00:06:06.93
And so we decided we
were going to a place called
00:06:06.96\00:06:11.87
Tybee Island. Tybee Island
is off the coast of Savannah, GA
00:06:11.90\00:06:18.11
and Tybee Island is a
wonderful little island
00:06:18.14\00:06:22.44
and we thought, we just
want to be with our children,
00:06:22.48\00:06:25.51
our grandchildren and we
want to get out in the sunshine
00:06:25.55\00:06:29.05
and the fresh air because we
need also these health giving,
00:06:29.08\00:06:33.22
life giving agents that will
help us to live longer as well.
00:06:33.25\00:06:38.73
And so we decided to go to
Tybee Island and here we are
00:06:38.76\00:06:43.87
50 years from
our wedding to now.
00:06:43.93\00:06:48.60
Fifty years later my husband
and I had this wonderful event.
00:06:48.64\00:06:53.94
In fact, we got
into our wedding clothes.
00:06:53.98\00:06:58.58
I got into my wedding dress, my
husband had his sport coat there
00:06:58.61\00:07:05.19
that he had on and our
children, our grandchildren
00:07:05.22\00:07:09.99
were so excited when
they saw grandma and grandpa
00:07:10.06\00:07:14.76
coming up the stairs in their
wedding clothes 50 years later.
00:07:14.83\00:07:21.00
It was an
amazing event my friends.
00:07:21.04\00:07:24.01
Our little grandchildren
ages from four to eight
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.88
were so excited. They were
up there clapping as we just
00:07:26.91\00:07:30.65
were excitedly walking up there.
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.78
We just thought we would do
this for the fun of it for them.
00:07:32.81\00:07:37.32
But again, it was a wonderful
memory, a wonderful memory.
00:07:37.39\00:07:42.46
And we went out on the
beach and had a wonderful time
00:07:42.49\00:07:46.59
with all of our family, our
three children and their spouses
00:07:46.63\00:07:52.73
who are now our children
and our five grandchildren.
00:07:52.77\00:07:56.71
It was an exciting time
out there in the fresh air
00:07:56.77\00:08:01.11
and the sunshine getting
those health giving, life giving
00:08:01.14\00:08:06.28
properties.
00:08:06.31\00:08:07.65
Our three children
Debbie, Rebecca and Mark
00:08:07.68\00:08:11.92
were excited with us as well.
00:08:11.95\00:08:14.42
And so we had a lot of
fun as our five grandchildren
00:08:14.46\00:08:19.49
actually carried my
train out on the beach
00:08:19.53\00:08:24.17
so that we could take
some pictures and they were
00:08:24.20\00:08:27.24
just so precious as they
felt like they were a part
00:08:27.27\00:08:31.27
of our wedding anniversary.
00:08:31.31\00:08:33.68
And here we are
with our entire family
00:08:33.71\00:08:37.15
making memories
together out on the beach,
00:08:37.18\00:08:41.28
enjoying one another's company.
00:08:41.32\00:08:43.62
And that's why we were
saying in one of our programs
00:08:43.69\00:08:46.89
that it is so important to
make those precious memories
00:08:46.96\00:08:50.99
because this will last forever.
00:08:51.03\00:08:52.93
I will never forget our
50th wedding anniversary
00:08:52.96\00:08:57.77
because we had our entire family
together for one whole week
00:08:57.80\00:09:02.94
on the beach,
out in the sunshine.
00:09:02.97\00:09:06.04
And here we are,
having fun with each of them
00:09:06.07\00:09:09.68
running and playing
and going into the water
00:09:09.71\00:09:13.15
and really
improving our health as well.
00:09:13.18\00:09:16.82
And so we need
sunlight my friends.
00:09:16.85\00:09:19.55
We knew that if we were
going to have a wonderful
00:09:19.59\00:09:22.26
wedding anniversary, we needed
to be out too in the sunlight
00:09:22.29\00:09:26.66
because sunlight is
crucial for our overall health.
00:09:26.73\00:09:30.97
In fact sunlight happens to
be one of the most effective
00:09:31.00\00:09:34.64
healing agents that
we can find in nature.
00:09:34.67\00:09:37.87
Sunlight is so important
for us to have good health
00:09:37.91\00:09:43.01
so let's look at
some benefits of sunshine.
00:09:43.04\00:09:45.88
What are some of the
benefits of sunshine?
00:09:45.91\00:09:48.02
Well sunshine in
moderation provides multiple
00:09:48.05\00:09:52.82
health benefits.
00:09:52.85\00:09:54.29
Sunshine
strengthens the immune system,
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.43
we've talked about that a
lot because if we are going to
00:09:57.46\00:10:01.23
live longer and
we're going to be healthier
00:10:01.26\00:10:03.33
we need a strong immune system.
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.47
And sunlight alleviates pain.
00:10:06.50\00:10:09.90
Have some of you been
fighting with that or struggling
00:10:09.97\00:10:13.84
with that chronic pain?
00:10:13.88\00:10:15.64
And especially as you
get a little older, you have
00:10:15.68\00:10:18.68
some of that pain, sunlight
can actually help alieve
00:10:18.71\00:10:23.85
some of that pain and studies
have shown that and proven that.
00:10:23.89\00:10:27.16
And sunlight lowers blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.
00:10:27.22\00:10:31.69
So many people today have high
blood pressure, high cholesterol
00:10:31.73\00:10:37.10
and we can actually lower that
blood pressure by getting out
00:10:37.13\00:10:41.20
in the sunshine.
00:10:41.24\00:10:42.60
And sunshine
stimulates the appetite.
00:10:42.64\00:10:46.17
Have you ever wondered
why you feel like eating?
00:10:46.21\00:10:49.64
More eating out in the sunshine?
00:10:49.68\00:10:52.18
Of course you can eat a
little more because you will
00:10:52.21\00:10:54.58
probably be exercising as well.
00:10:54.62\00:10:56.82
But sunlight actually stimulates
the appetite and I can tell you,
00:10:56.85\00:11:02.49
our little grandsons
Dyson and Aden were having
00:11:02.52\00:11:07.30
a wonderful time in the water
and out there in the sunshine.
00:11:07.40\00:11:11.50
But when it was time to eat,
they were ravenously hungry.
00:11:11.53\00:11:15.97
and they had a good appetite
because they were out there
00:11:16.00\00:11:19.21
in the sunshine.
00:11:19.24\00:11:20.58
And our three little
grand- daughters Claire and Shea
00:11:20.64\00:11:24.85
and Evelyn, they had a wonderful
appetite because they were
00:11:24.88\00:11:28.92
out there on the beach in
the water and in the sunshine.
00:11:28.95\00:11:33.32
Because sunshine
actually improves our digestion
00:11:33.36\00:11:37.49
and elimination and so
your whole digestive system
00:11:37.53\00:11:43.06
is going to work better when you
are out there in the sunshine.
00:11:43.10\00:11:47.40
And what else does sunshine do?
00:11:47.47\00:11:49.64
Well many things, but it
gives you a healthy complexion.
00:11:49.67\00:11:53.41
You are going to look more
healthy even and my friends
00:11:53.44\00:11:57.81
I'm sure you
want to look healthy
00:11:57.85\00:11:59.81
and so we need to get out there
in the fresh air and sunshine.
00:11:59.85\00:12:04.09
And sunshine actually also
benefits Alzheimer's patients.
00:12:04.12\00:12:09.52
We have talked about this
before, where we need water
00:12:09.56\00:12:13.60
to help Alzheimer's, we
need walking and exercise
00:12:13.63\00:12:17.47
but we also need sunlight.
00:12:17.53\00:12:20.34
So your whole system is improved
my friends and even patients
00:12:43.59\00:12:49.86
who have Alzheimer's...your
conditions can be improved
00:12:49.90\00:12:55.24
when you get out
there in the sunshine.
00:12:55.27\00:12:59.14
And sunshine also reduces
depression because sunshine
00:12:59.17\00:13:05.61
is a happy vitamin.
00:13:05.65\00:13:08.08
It's just like taking a
happy vitamin my friends.
00:13:08.12\00:13:11.72
It's going to soothe the
nerves and make you feel better.
00:13:11.75\00:13:15.39
Sometimes you may feel
up or you may feel down,
00:13:15.42\00:13:18.96
you may feel nervous and
jittery but get out there
00:13:18.99\00:13:22.60
in the sunshine,
walk among the trees,
00:13:22.63\00:13:25.13
imbibing that wonderful
sunlight and you will feel
00:13:25.17\00:13:28.77
so much better.
00:13:28.80\00:13:30.31
It elevates that mood...
00:13:30.37\00:13:32.44
Some days you may feel
up or you may feel down.
00:13:32.47\00:13:35.54
Well, the good thing to do is
to get out there in the sunshine
00:13:35.58\00:13:40.38
walking among the
trees, in the fresh air
00:13:40.42\00:13:44.15
and this will truly help
you to have a better mood.
00:13:44.19\00:13:48.62
In fact...
00:13:48.66\00:13:49.99
So bright rooms verses
dim rooms made a difference.
00:14:15.85\00:14:21.56
And that's why it's important
to have good big windows
00:14:31.10\00:14:36.14
or at least some windows in
our house, especially in our
00:14:36.17\00:14:40.38
sleeping room,
especially in the area where we
00:14:40.44\00:14:45.05
spend a lot of time so that
we get sunlight even through
00:14:45.08\00:14:49.55
the window.
00:14:49.58\00:14:50.95
Sunlight increases our vitality.
00:14:50.99\00:14:54.26
We are going to
feel more energetic.
00:14:54.29\00:14:56.79
Have you ever
wondered why you feel so happy
00:14:56.83\00:15:00.33
and you feel so
energetic when you are outside
00:15:00.36\00:15:03.37
and you are getting
that sun beaming on you?
00:15:03.40\00:15:05.93
It increases your vitality.
00:15:05.97\00:15:08.44
As we get older we have less
vigor and vitality to resist
00:15:08.47\00:15:13.41
unhealthful influences.
00:15:13.48\00:15:15.24
It is more important for the
aged to have plenty of sunlight
00:15:15.28\00:15:19.95
and fresh, pure air.
00:15:20.02\00:15:22.45
Often times as
people get a little older,
00:15:22.48\00:15:25.55
some care givers
tend to keep people inside
00:15:25.59\00:15:29.62
but the very thing we need
to do is to get them outside
00:15:29.66\00:15:33.80
in the sunshine and fresh air.
00:15:33.83\00:15:36.36
It will help their attitudes and
their mental health very much.
00:15:36.40\00:15:42.04
So sunlight
increases our vitality and also
00:15:42.07\00:15:49.31
when we get older.
00:15:49.34\00:15:50.95
And sunlight
kills germs my friends.
00:15:50.98\00:15:53.62
Let's look at this.
00:15:53.68\00:15:55.95
Now I know today that we
have these automatic dryers
00:16:12.10\00:16:16.07
and we don't get our
clothes out on a clothesline.
00:16:16.10\00:16:19.91
Well except for some places,
recently my husband and I
00:16:19.94\00:16:24.41
visited the Amish Country
in Pennsylvania and as we were
00:16:24.45\00:16:29.75
taking a tour, I noticed and
I took a picture of the clothes
00:16:29.78\00:16:35.12
hanging out on the
clothesline with that pulley
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.69
you know, going into the
house and people are still
00:16:37.73\00:16:40.90
hanging out their clothes.
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.00
And you know what? Many of
the Amish have very good health.
00:16:43.03\00:16:46.80
So we might not be able to
hang all of our clothes outside
00:16:46.84\00:16:50.81
all of the time, but
occasionally we can air
00:16:50.87\00:16:53.88
some things outside
because it kills germs.
00:16:53.94\00:16:57.25
And then of course
sunshine provides vitamin D.
00:16:57.31\00:17:01.72
When natural sunlight penetrates
the skin, it triggers the body's
00:17:01.75\00:17:06.22
production of vitamin D.
00:17:06.25\00:17:08.52
And we need vitamin D
my friends, it is known as
00:17:08.56\00:17:12.19
"the sunshine vitamin."
00:17:12.23\00:17:14.46
So that means that we shouldn't
always have sunscreen on
00:17:24.11\00:17:28.44
if we're going to
get out in the sunlight.
00:17:28.48\00:17:31.35
We will get vitamin D
from other sources as well.
00:17:31.38\00:17:35.38
And although some foods may
be fortified with vitamin D,
00:17:35.42\00:17:41.26
sunlight my friends provides
the best source of vitamin D.
00:17:41.29\00:17:45.49
So you will get some
with the fortified foods,
00:17:45.53\00:17:49.00
but we really need to
get it from the sunlight.
00:17:49.03\00:17:52.17
Why is vitamin D so important?
00:17:52.20\00:17:55.30
Well according to the National
Institute of the health office
00:17:55.34\00:17:59.51
on vitamin D, we need that
because it protects the body
00:17:59.54\00:18:04.51
from a number of diseases.
00:18:04.55\00:18:07.15
In fact people with low vitamin
D usually tend to get many
00:18:07.18\00:18:13.19
of these chronic diseases.
00:18:13.22\00:18:15.16
And research confirms that
vitamin D is protective against
00:18:15.19\00:18:20.43
cancers, osteoporosis,
rickets and diabetes.
00:18:20.46\00:18:25.10
So when we get
adequate amounts of vitamin D,
00:18:25.13\00:18:27.94
then we are going to
lower the risk of many of these
00:18:27.97\00:18:32.51
diseases such as
cancer, osteoporosis and
00:18:32.54\00:18:36.11
even diabetes 2 today.
00:18:36.14\00:18:38.88
In other words, although
some people are saying you can't
00:19:00.70\00:19:04.47
you can't get into the sun
because it's a hazard toward
00:19:04.51\00:19:08.34
and a risk of having
cancer, it's quite the opposite.
00:19:08.38\00:19:13.08
It's those people who
aren't getting in the sun
00:19:13.11\00:19:16.15
are tending to get cancer.
00:19:16.18\00:19:19.39
According to one
study in American Journal of
00:19:19.42\00:19:22.82
Clinical Nutrition-
00:19:22.86\00:19:24.19
So we need to get out in
the sunshine my friends...
00:19:33.03\00:19:36.64
Yes, we don't want to
overdo it, but we need that
00:19:36.71\00:19:39.71
direct sunlight.
00:19:39.74\00:19:41.38
And the higher the
vitamin D levels in the blood,
00:19:41.41\00:19:44.61
the lower the risk for
colon and colorectal cancers.
00:19:44.65\00:19:48.78
Yes, the skin synthesizes
vitamin D in response
00:19:48.82\00:19:53.25
to those UV rays.
00:19:53.29\00:19:54.89
So we need the
sunlight my friends.
00:19:54.92\00:19:58.13
And vitamin D is required
for the body to absorb calcium
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.70
and phosphorous.
00:20:02.73\00:20:04.97
So some people are not
getting enough vitamin D,
00:20:05.00\00:20:09.57
not because they
may not be taking it,
00:20:09.60\00:20:12.24
even in the form of a
pill, but because they are not
00:20:12.27\00:20:15.74
absorbing it.
00:20:15.78\00:20:17.11
And so we need to absorb also
that calcium and phosphorous
00:20:17.15\00:20:22.38
which vitamin D
helps to do that.
00:20:22.42\00:20:25.19
And calcium is critically
important for normal development
00:20:25.22\00:20:29.59
of our bones and our teeth.
00:20:29.62\00:20:32.39
So we need the calcium,
we need the vitamin D to help
00:20:32.43\00:20:36.20
absorb that as well.
00:20:36.23\00:20:37.83
And many many people lack
adequate amounts of vitamin D.
00:20:37.87\00:20:42.67
So what is the level
that we really should have?
00:20:42.70\00:20:45.91
Well, somewhere
between 30 and 60 is the level.
00:20:45.94\00:20:50.41
And research indicates at
least 20% of children and adults
00:20:50.48\00:20:55.78
up to age 50 don't have
adequate intake of vitamin D.
00:20:55.82\00:21:00.66
Why again my friends? Because
of our sedentary indoor life.
00:21:00.69\00:21:06.80
And 95% of adults over 50
do not get adequate amounts
00:21:06.83\00:21:14.20
of vitamin D.
00:21:14.24\00:21:15.57
So studies are showing
that people are not getting
00:21:15.60\00:21:19.27
enough vitamin D.
00:21:19.31\00:21:20.84
And vitamin D deficiency is
associated with osteoporosis
00:21:20.88\00:21:26.78
and hip fractures.
00:21:26.82\00:21:28.15
And once we get enough
adequate vitamin D and enough
00:21:28.18\00:21:32.72
weight bearing exercises,
we can reduce the risk of
00:21:32.75\00:21:37.03
osteoporosis and
particularly the hip fractures.
00:21:37.09\00:21:40.86
And so we need the sunlight my
friends to strengthen our bones.
00:21:56.91\00:22:01.85
We need to get out there,
not only in the fresh air,
00:22:01.88\00:22:06.09
but when the sun is
shining and get some sunlight.
00:22:06.12\00:22:09.32
Sunshine helps
prevent osteoporosis.
00:22:09.36\00:22:13.40
In fact World Statistics
show that 1 in 2 women
00:22:13.43\00:22:17.83
and 1 in 3 men
will get osteoporosis.
00:22:17.87\00:22:20.97
And 50% of the women and 30%
of the men will get fractures.
00:22:21.00\00:22:26.84
We can reduce that by getting
some good, extra sunshine.
00:22:26.88\00:22:32.45
But what about
vitamin D supplements you ask?
00:22:32.48\00:22:35.88
Well, I'm glad you
asked that question,
00:22:35.92\00:22:38.25
So supplements are
still being debated my friends
00:22:48.50\00:22:51.97
The best is to get
sunlight naturally.
00:22:52.00\00:22:55.14
And research at the
University of Edinburgh,
00:22:55.17\00:22:58.21
researchers evaluated the
results of 268 previous studies
00:22:58.24\00:23:03.98
of vitamin D. Their
conclusion was this.
00:23:04.05\00:23:07.15
So all the studies aren't in,
but if you need extra vitamin D,
00:23:23.97\00:23:28.24
and you are low, then
you may want to do that.
00:23:28.27\00:23:31.17
So, we don't want to
have a low level of vitamin D
00:23:48.62\00:23:51.89
and so, what
about supplementation?
00:23:51.93\00:23:55.26
So when you get it
naturally you absorb it.
00:24:05.24\00:24:08.61
But all of the studies aren't
in yet on whether that pill
00:24:08.91\00:24:13.05
does help.
00:24:13.08\00:24:14.42
But even if you are
taking a supplement,
00:24:14.45\00:24:16.69
the National Osteoporosis
Foundation recommends
00:24:16.72\00:24:20.26
800 International Units daily.
00:24:20.29\00:24:23.86
And new evidence indicates
that both high and low levels
00:24:23.93\00:24:30.03
may be associated with
increased health risks.
00:24:30.07\00:24:33.74
So whether those
levels are high or low,
00:24:33.80\00:24:36.47
they can be health risks.
00:24:36.50\00:24:39.41
Wo we need sunshine my
friends, that's the bottom line.
00:24:39.44\00:24:43.41
We need to get out in the
sunshine because we have no risk
00:24:43.45\00:24:46.98
with the sunshine if
we use it moderately.
00:24:47.02\00:24:49.68
There are no shortcuts, we
need about 20- 30 minutes a day
00:24:49.72\00:24:54.62
and it will give you all
of the vitamin D that you need
00:24:54.66\00:24:57.33
just to get out
there for 20 or 30 minutes.
00:24:57.39\00:25:00.56
While we have to understand
our personal tolerance
00:25:00.63\00:25:03.97
toward the sun and get
the appropriate amount,
00:25:04.00\00:25:07.74
we don't want to overdo
and we never ever want to burn.
00:25:07.77\00:25:12.97
Because repeated
burning the skin is harmful,
00:25:13.01\00:25:17.35
it destroys healthy living
tissues and increases the risk
00:25:17.38\00:25:21.72
of melanoma. Melanoma is a
type of skin cancer which tends
00:25:21.75\00:25:26.49
to spread and
often kill the person.
00:25:26.52\00:25:29.69
So we don't want
to overdo my friends,
00:25:29.72\00:25:32.93
we want to get adequate amounts.
00:25:32.96\00:25:36.00
Sunlight provides Melatonin
and Melatonin is a natural
00:25:36.03\00:25:40.90
made by our bodies.
00:25:40.94\00:25:44.07
And natural melatonin from
the sun helps us sleep better.
00:25:44.11\00:25:48.61
And I know everyone of
my family slept really good
00:25:48.64\00:25:53.05
when we came in from
the sunshine and the beach.
00:25:53.08\00:25:56.65
And we had a wonderful
time just sleeping because
00:25:56.69\00:26:01.42
we were all together happy
and enjoying nature out there
00:26:01.46\00:26:06.13
in the sunshine, having a
wonderful time at the beach.
00:26:06.16\00:26:10.57
So my friends, I
recommend this to you.
00:26:10.60\00:26:13.54
Daily time in the sun helps
to regulate circadian rhythms
00:26:13.57\00:26:17.87
for a better night's sleep.
00:26:17.91\00:26:20.21
Sunlight increases
also the serotonin.
00:26:20.28\00:26:23.35
Sunlight promotes
positive thinking by increasing
00:26:23.38\00:26:26.95
serotonin, an important
"happiness" brain chemical."
00:26:27.02\00:26:30.99
It's a brain
chemical my friends.
00:26:31.02\00:26:33.56
So sunshine is
truly the "happy vitamin"
00:26:33.59\00:26:36.96
so let the sun shine in.
00:26:37.03\00:26:38.66
Maximize your benefits so
here are some "Teenie Tips".
00:26:38.69\00:26:42.63
Spend 20-30 minutes
every day in the sunshine.
00:26:42.66\00:26:46.40
Don't use sunscreen, get
those 20-30 minutes without it.
00:26:46.43\00:26:51.47
And play with your family
at the beach and enjoy the sun
00:26:51.51\00:26:55.88
and open the blinds
and let the sun shine in.
00:26:55.91\00:26:58.98
Don't worry about
fading your furniture,
00:26:59.01\00:27:01.28
you'll get so many benefits
and they are so much greater.
00:27:01.32\00:27:05.49
So incorporate my
friends sunshine into your life.
00:27:05.52\00:27:09.62
You will have health
and you and your family
00:27:09.66\00:27:12.79
will be on the
road to better health.
00:27:12.83\00:27:15.16
You will live
longer and healthier.
00:27:15.20\00:27:17.87
John 10:10 says this.
00:27:17.90\00:27:19.87
God wants you to
have abundant life.
00:27:25.41\00:27:28.21
