☀️ Sunshine & Kindness: The Science-Backed Duo ☀️
Sure, "sunshine and kindness" might sound like a cliché, but extensive global research proves this simple, yet extremely powerful combo can transform your health and happiness! 🌟✨ From boosting focus to deepening relationships, here’s how to unlock their benefits.

According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, we should be mindful of our sun and light exposure throughout the day:

Your Sunshine Protocol

1️⃣ Morning Sunlight to Eyes 🌅

2️⃣ Midday Sunlight on Skin 🌞

• Raises testosterone & estrogen 💪❤️, lifts mood 🌈, and enhances energy ⚡.
