Sunlight is a superfood! It's rays penetrate and feed us, through our skin, essential ingredients to our health and happiness. Just as a plant takes in the light through
chlorophyll
and photosynthesis, we to pull in the rays that energize our hemoglobin.
Without the sun or source of light foods do not grow. When we eatraw foodsthat have not been heated or cooked we are consuming the sun's energy stored within the pure water content of the food.
"Light is to the skin what air is to the lungs." Peter Ragnar
Many ancient cultures around the world used the sun as the center of their religion, rituals and ceremony. As seen through the pyramid design which was based on the movement of the sun around the earth.
In addition to a
healthy diet plan,
we believe that getting amply amounts of sun light on the skin everyday is incredibly beneficial to overall superhealth!
Why Sunlight On The Skin?
The sun is the source of all life. All of nature grows toward it and all the planets revolve around it, you kinda get a feeling that it is powerful and somehow important!
It provides the all important VITAMIN D's which are synthesized through the skin. They are essential for organ maintenance, bone strength and proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
We call sun light a superfood because without it superhealth is not possible. Sunlight and superfoods work together! When consuming the
top superfoods,
packed with antioxidants, beta carotene and especially green food nutrients, we are unaffected by the "damaging rays of the sun" (UV light).
Sun light actually nourishes the body through the skin and improves the absorption of these superfoods.
Sun light acts as a powerful detoxifier, helping to heat the body and sweat out waste and acids. It does this via the skin, the body's greatest organ for eliminating toxins. Direct sun light on the skin also speeds the healing of bruises, cuts, fungus and rashes.
Sun Therapy!
We like to get sun light all year round! In colder winter climates it can be very rejuvenating and uplifting. We like to lay out with as little clothing as possible on sunny winter days. Although the sun's angle is not as strong, the benefits can be felt almost immediately. Just try it, and you will know!
It is important for those who are not use to the sun or sensitive to... go slow! Increase exposure over time and start by laying in the less intense winter sun.
However, when eating a diet high in cooked trans fats and refined foods, free radicals and toxins are pulled to the surface of the skin by the sun's rays leading to mutations, disease and cancer.
The best UV protection is through the foods we eat and drink!
Interestingly, chlorophyll in plants and hemoglobin in our blood stream are exactly the same except for one mineral. Chlorophyll contains magnesium and hemoglobin contains iron.
Eating chlorophyll rich algaes such as
spirulina
and
blue green algae
are especially beneficial for UV sun protection.
Can You See the Light?
When eating a
healthy diet
of
top superfoods,green juices,
and
sprouts
you are protecting your eyes from potential damage. You may then minimize the use of sunglasses that block the all important indirect light from the eyes.
"Life on this Earth since the beginning has evolved under the full spectrum of natural sunlight. Recent experimental studies have indicated that abnormal growth responses developed when any part of this natural sunlight spectral energy was blocked from entering the eyes. As people have become more civilized, living under an environment of artificial light, behind window glass, eye glasses, and particularly sunglasses of different colors, the balance of the wavelength energy entering the eye has become greatly distorted from that of natural sunlight."
