Sunshine makes you smile....fact. :)

Spring has arrived and it feels like summer already! I hope you have had a great weekend and managed to get outside to soak up some sun :)
As if you needed an excuse to catch some rays im going to give you a great one anyway! VITAMIN D. now im sure you've all heard of this miracle vitamin and prohormone that is now coming out of the woodwork as providing far more benefits than previously thought. Vitamin D3 (the form synthesised by your body from sun exposure) has been shown to help prevent many ailments from flu to cancer due to its great immune system boosting effects. But did you also know this vitamin may have the potential to prevent depression? (do you smile when you see the sun?)
While the exact mechanism behind the effects seen are unclear, the links between vitamin D deficiency and the incidence of depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), anxiety and schizophrenia are promising. Although these studies are not considered conclusive, there is definitely an apparent connection between vitamin D and mood.
During these sunny days, get outside for some healthy sun exposure and put a smile on your face! :)
