The weather is dreary and cool, it makes me ache just enough to be uncomfortable and to encourage me to be very sleepy. I have learned along the way that I need a little bit of sunshine every day, about twenty to thirty minutes worth of the sun's warmth does wonders for my mood and energy levels. In the beginning I thought it was the general warmth and the enjoyment of a beautiful sunny day that did the trick, but the more that I have studied I realize it is probably about the Vitamin D.
Vitamin D comes into play in maintaining balance and general good health/moods. My sister, Jennifer, for example takes a supplement of Vitamin D because she doesn't tolerate the sun well at all. Using sunscreen, I am able to spend enough time in the sun to satisfy the amount of Vitamin D that my body is craving. That being said, I tend to experience a few side effects of Vitamin D from being out in the sun for too long. Vitamin D is also available through dietary measures, eating things like eggs, different kinds of fish, and some cereals. So my advice to everyone who wants to experiment with Vitamin D and its effect on your mood/pain levels is to take it slowly and see what works for you.
A little sunshine, when experienced with proper sunscreen, never hurt anyone!
