Reading books outside under the midday sun can cut your risk of aches and pain by up to 64%! Of course, you can get the same benefit simply by eating lunch outside at noon under the autumn sun. But reading gives you more benefits!
According to Wake Forest University researchers, even brief exposure to UV light under the midday sun calms overactive pain nerves while also prompting the release of natural painkillers.
Bonus: Women who get just 10 minutes of sun every day are less likely to develop heart disease.
