Improved Sleep
Your internal body clock regulates your sleep patterns. This is called the circadian rhythm which is naturally tied to the sun’s schedule. Increased exposure to artificial light and spending too much time inside can alter your circadian rhythms.
Getting a dose of sunlight every day, can help you feel relaxed and refreshed by helping regulate melatonin production. Melatonin is a hormone, produced in the pineal gland, which controls your body’s internal clock. The right amount of melatonin provides a good night’s sleep.
Exercise
Sitting too much can result in increased blood pressure, decreased bone density, impaired fat burning capacity, and a shortened life span. On the other hand, exercise can help prevent or improve heart disease, obesity, type II diabetes, strokes, osteoporosis, back pain, and a host of psychological disorders. Cyclists and people who run outside use more energy than those on treadmills. They enjoy it more, and consequently, will do it for longer periods.
