More outside!





Here are four things to do for our health that get us out of being stuck at home, at least briefly.

 

1.     Walk/run/bike the neighborhood.  Take the dog.  Or the kids.  Or the spouse.  Or find a friend and do it in a socially-distanced and responsible fashion.  Even if all you see are cars and concrete, at least it is not the same walls.

2.     Go to the farmer’s market.  Or the produce stand.  Get some veggies and some fruits.  Your nutrition is important!

3.     Stand in the sunshine.  Or sit there.  Maybe read or do some gardening.  What do we get out of it?  Vitamin D, which is an essential nutrient and one that most of us could use more of.  It helps keep our bones strong and aids our immune system.  Also, a little sunshine feels good.

4.     Visit the beach.  Please remember to wear your mask and to keep a safe distance from other people.  The negative ions in the air make us feel good.  Bonus points for swimming, digging in the sand, sailing, rowing, paddleboarding, or kite sailing.

 

Go play.
