Vitamin D in it's natural make up, has the following health benefits to man;
1. It helps the body in absorption of calcium.
2. Vitamin D helps in the formation of strong bone in man.
3. Vitamin D helps to regulate the immune system and reduces the risk of autoimmune diseases, such as; Type 1 diabetes, Lupus, Graves' disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and so on.
4. It also helps to fight off infections from the human body system.
5. Vitamin D can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases like; heart diseases, heart failure, stroke, etc.

2. Blue light helps to suppress melatonin production and this helps to increase alertness and wakefulness.
3. It also helps to improve the memory and learning capability.

Similarly, the above health benefits are also offered by the natural light spectrum.
Hence, outside the fact that the sun in it's large energy production is harmful to the body, you can see that the early morning sun is also very beneficial to us. Therefore, why trying to avoid the sun, try also to tap it's health benefits, but caution must be applied.
What are the cautions in tapping the health benefits of the sun?
1. Avoid exposing yourself to the evening blue light. This can alter or disrupt your night sleep.
