Mood Enhancer
Sunshine helps produce serotonin which is a chemical in our body that regulates mood and social behavior. In the morning, you can walk along a pathway or have your cup of coffee outside before you get to work. This may come handy to boost your mood throughout the day as well.
Abundant in Vitamin D
Sunshine is healthy because it gives us Vitamin D. Vitamin D is the most common vitamin ever to be associated with sunlight. It’s a fact that a regular collection of Vitamin D protects our body from diseases such as breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, seasonal disorders, depression, and inflammation and it also promotes bone grown. Vitamin D is produced when the UV rays from the sunlight enter our skin thus creating a reaction resulting in the production of Vitamin D.
Immunity Booster
Bathing in good sunlight can protect you from a strain of flu and cold by invigorating your immune system’s T cells, and Vitamin D. Solar energy is not just for machines as they can also help combat infections and diseases.

A low serotonin count can affect your mood and most of the time when we feel sad; we tend to channel our emotions through eating. Sunshine is healthy because it helps improve our mood; therefore, the happier you are, the more in control you are with your body!
