Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!
Or anywhere else for that matter! Research the last few years has been proving that Vitamin D, produced in our bodies by sunshine, is an excellent help to our immune system. But the benefits of sunshine don’t stop there! Sunshine is also directly related to how much melatonin and serotonin are present in our brains. Melatonin affects our sleep, and serotonin affects our mood, so lack of both makes us tired and grumpy! The amount of sunshine a person is exposed to during a given day is directly related to a feeling of well-being because of its influence on serotonin levels. Serotonin also helps to decrease inflammation in the brain so we think more clearly, and well, we do everything more clearly!
Sunshine carried a bad wrap for many years as people overexposed themselves and caused skin cancers to soar. Now we are realizing we need some sun to be healthy. :)
Everything in moderation, friends!
