Sunshine and Health
Sunshine is believed to increase the release of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin, often referred to as the feel-good hormone, is associated with boosting mood, lowering feelings of anxiety, and helping a person feel calm and focused. Exposure to sunshine and light during the day and darkness at night helps us maintain a healthy circadian rhythm, which is essential for good mental health. Sunshine also helps your body make vitamin D. Vitamin D is an important nutrient for your bones, blood cells, and immune system and helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Go out and enjoy the sunshine safely; it is good for your health!
Simple UV Safety Tips for Seniors
Sunshine naturally provides our skin with Vitamin D, which has many health benefits! Sunshine can also be harmful, so we need to protect our skin. Keep these tips in mind year-round, especially in these sunny summer months! * See the dermatologist annually. It is a great idea to also self-check during a shower. Apply sunscreen liberally and often. It is recommended that you reapply a minimum of SPF 30 every two hours. Use “broad spectrum,” which protects from both UVA and UVB rays. Cover yourself; clothing is a great option for sun protection. Vivid colours offer more protection than pale ones. Stay safe out there!
