A Daylight Savings Time Health Boost

Daylight Savings Time normally begins the first Sunday in April but this year it will start three weeks early, on March 11th. It will also go one week further in the fall, instead of ending the last Sunday in October it will now be the first Sunday in November.

This is great news for all people who enjoy outdoor fitness activities. We can now get in an extra hour of tennis, golf, soccer or any other sport or outdoor activity we enjoy. It's also very good news for the many people who suffer from mood disorders and depression due to a deficiency of sunlight or daylight.

The main reason for the change is to reduce global warming as people will need less lighting for one hour and the change is estimated to reduce greenhouse gases by one percent.
