Most of my post is related to the kitchen, however, these days I stumbled upon an article that caught my attention, and I started to investigate to write this post for you. . This topic talks about how we can use the resources that are available to us every day, and many times we do not give it the importance it deserves, in this case I will talk about the sun and the alternative therapies that we can take advantage of, without having to spend a single penny .

The sun is the main star of our solar system, in addition, it is the most important source of energy, heat and light on our planet; This star is responsible for maintaining the life of living beings, since with its energy, chemical and physiological reactions occur in the body that allow the development and growth of the flora and fauna that inhabit the earth.


In the particular case of human beings, the sun is responsible for maintaining our body healthy and a strengthened immune system, through the synthesis of vitamin D, which also influences other functions such as absorption of calcium in the intestine and incorporation into the bones, regulation of metabolism, production of hormones, reduction of allergies, skin conditions and allows proper blood circulation, in short, the sun is a vital resource for our lives, However, many of us do not know how to harness its power.


Hence, in this article I will delve into alternative treatments, where the energy and heat of the king star are used for the well-being of our body, the ones that most caught my attention are:

Science currently knows that one of the most important benefits of the sun is its participation in the synthesis of vitamin D, since with food consumption, sometimes it cannot be the main contribution and sun exposure is needed for the synthesis in our skin. The main objective of vitamin D is in the absorption of minerals such as calcium in the intestine and assimilation to the bone structure.
