Farming changed from hand labor to machines in the 19th and 20th centuries. Before machines were doing most of the hard hours outside in the sun, people were spending hours plowing, planting and reaping. As a consequence, these people were tanned by the sun and this made it undeniable that they were laborers. The aristocratic class definitely did not want to get tan and have society suspect they had to do outside labor so women wore hats and gloves and long dresses. Men wore hats, also and gloves.

When the farming revolution took over there were changes in attitudes along with farming. Out of job laborers had to find work inside and it became harder to distinguish, from appearances, who was an aristocrat and who wasn't because most everyone was a 'pale face'. Somehow, it became vogue for the wealthy to take vacations where there was lots of sunshine and now aristocrats were proudly parading their tans, while the lower class, who couldn't afford those vacations remained pale.

Today, most people work inside and aren't exposed to the sun most of the time and the consequence of this is a Vitamin D-3 deficiency. This vitamin is vital to good health in so many ways. It has been proven that without an adequate amount in the body, calcium cannot be absorbed properly and calcium is necessary not only for healthy teeth and bones, but for joints and muscles and the heart is a muscle. It boosts the immune system and feeds the brain. People living in the northern hemisphere are affected negatively during the winter months because the UVB rays of the sun are muted for months. Have I proven the point that this supplement is important?

It fascinates me that this vital supplement is named the 'Sun Vitamin' because it so duplicates the necessity of the 'SON' in our lives. The SON, Jesus, gives us eternal life, but without the daily intake of the supplement of the SON, the Word of God, we can become seriously unhealthy spiritually. Our structure can weaken and we can fall apart, feel self pity and doubt. Our immune system can become vulnerable to temptations. Our heart can become weak and our brain can dysfunction with worry and anxiety and make bad decisions. Have I proven the point that getting into the SON Vitamin, the Word of God, daily is important?
