Sun and Mood ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Human skin is capable of triggering serotonin production, one of our main neurotransmitters for modulating mood. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The turnover of serotonin in the body is directly affected by the amount of sunlight that hits the skin everyday⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Research has clearly demonstrated that levels of serotonin are higher on bright days than cloudy days⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This effect is present regardless of the temperature outside, it comes down to sun exposure itself. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is one of the many mechanisms of why we feel so much better when we get out in the sunshine⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Feeling down? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Get outside for some #sensiblesunexposure for a natural mood boost, among numerous other benefits ☀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Check out the comprehensive podcast episode I released a few weeks back to learn more about how to harness the healing benefits of the sun while minimizing any skin damage (link in bio)
