Living Inside vs. Outside: Insights from Eric

The Power of Sunlight

Welcome to the first entry in our new Q&A series here at E&K Wellness. In this format, I’ll ask the questions, and my partner, Eric, will share his answers.

Eric brings valuable insight through his lifestyle, his studies in kinesiology, and his skills in body relaxation and movement. Together, we hope these conversations will offer you practical tips, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a little inspiration.

Today’s topic is something simple yet powerful: the importance of sunlight.

Keiko: What do you think is the main difference between outdoor and indoor living?

Eric: The biggest difference is the absorption of vitamin D. When I’m outside, I feel the sun’s energy fueling me. I can’t stay inside all day without feeling the need to step out and bathe in the sun.

Keiko: Why do you feel such a strong need to go outdoors?

Eric: Being indoors too long makes me restless. Fresh air and sunlight recharge me in a way that four walls never could.

Keiko: Do you think spending time outside affects mood or health?

Eric: Absolutely. Sunlight isn’t just about vitamin D—it also lifts your mood, clears your mind, and makes you feel more alive.

✨ That’s it for our first Q&A session. We’ll be back soon with more conversations on wellness, movement, and everyday balance. We hope you enjoyed this one and found something useful to take with you into your own life.
