It's true. And not just because it's warm and a nice relief from all the rain and snow and cold that we have had, but because it gives us vitamin D. I don't know about all of you, but I just seem to have a spring in my step when the sun is out. Don't get me wrong, I love a nice rainy day, but vitamin D actually raises the chemical serotonin in our brains, much the same way some anti-depressants do! (Found this info on WebMD.) Now I'm no doctor, far from it, but I was researching vitamin D in relation to osteoporosis (not for me! keep in mind what I do for a living) and it seemed every site I was on, and every article I read, reinforced the idea that vitamin D really can help make us HAPPY. And, many articles actually said that vitamin D directly from the sun (vs a supplement) is actually better for you. Food for thought everyone.
But please please please don't forget the sunscreen :-)
