For those of you, like myself, who have had a streak of warm weather and sunshine, Get up off your bums and get outside!!!
Take your morning coffee, or, if like me, you have the day free, spend the day in the sunshine. Lay out a blanket, take a sandwhich and a bottle of water, and a good book, and bask in the new warmth.
Wear a skirt or shorts and a light top so that the light doesn't just touch your face.
Sunshine is medically proven to lighten the mood, something to do with vitamin D.
Oh, and remember sunblock.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, food, and supplements is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylations in the body for activation. The first occurs in the liver and converts vitamin D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcidiol. The second occurs primarily in the kidney and forms the physiologically active dihydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcitriol....just so you know.
