Rabbi Yitzhak Miller Benefits of Solar Energy
Health Benefits of Solar Energy in the Cold Regions of the World
By Marcellinus Nkpozi
Solar energy does not just provide light energy. One may think of solar energy as a technology to light few bulbs, power the television set, fan, personal computer and maybe, the refrigerator in the home. This is obviously wrong thinking. It is not just about those uses.
Solar energy has some health benefits too. My good friend benefited immensely from it when we stayed in various cities in Israel for the holy pilgrimage by January 2009. My friend is a known bronchial asthma patient of several years duration. When our plane touched down at the Ben Gurion International airport, Tel Aviv, and we got down, I was worried for him. Worried because his health condition often got worse or is triggered by cold weather. However, because of the solar - powered water heater in all the hotels we stayed, he had a hitch-free tour of the holyland. Without the solar - powered water heater, he would have found it extremely difficult to take his bath for the two weeks we stayed in Israel at that time of the year. Coming from a hot and humid West African weather, the Israeli January weather was really harsh to us. It is better imagined than described what could have happened to my friend and other pilgrims with similar health conditions if the solar - powered water heaters were not available.
People with such health conditions as common cold, allergic rhinitis, flu, sinusitis, pneumonia etc which are made worsen by cold weather are ever grateful to solar energy. No wonder, in Israel, more than 98% of the residential houses in the cities have solar - powered water heaters on their roof-tops.
On the other hand, the rest of the christian pilgrims that were not bronchial asthma patients were able to take their daily bathes because of the hot water from the solar - powered water heaters. By taking their baths as is necessary, their personal hygiene was enhanced and their health was boosted
In summary, there is no doubt that solar energy has some significant health benefits in the cold regions of the world.
