Sunshine is the Best Medicine for Improving Mood and Lowering Depression Through Vitamin D
What is scientifically evident is that Vitamin D is an important vitamin that our bodies require for many processes, including cognitive behaviors. While the jury is still out on whether Vitamin D supplements are effective, sunlight continues to be the best way for our bodies to increase our serum vitamin D levels. Essentially, we need to get outside and let the sunshine in so our vitamin D levels can escalate, thereby positively impacting our behavior and mood. There is a chemical reaction that occurs inside of our bodies when UVB is allowed to reach our skin that’s timed with the natural circadian rhythm of our organs. Nature continues to show us the way, we just have to be willing to listen.
