Sunlight is very importanat to human being. We cannot exist without it. Sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D for strong Bones and teeth.

To avoid diseases. We must practice temperance. We should avoid eating too much of anything whether healthy or not. And not only temperance when it comes to food but of habits or work as well. We should not overindulge in something.

Air is very important to us. Without air, we die. Fresh air invigorates the blood. Our brain also needs enough oxygen from air to function properly.
