Hello Again,
I realize I have been gone for a while. Sorry!
As humans there are certain things in life we need to live healthy, happy lifestyles. Obviously exercise (physical activity) and a good nutritional foundation are the most common. But one we tend to over look from time to time is our natural need for sunlight to survive. Unfortunately living in the midwest we do not have the luxury of it being 80 degrees year around, so we do have to make due with what we have. But have you ever noticed how different our moods are during the winter months than in the spring and summer.
Unless you use artificial tanning to maintain your "year roun' brown" there is a good chance that you have experienced these slight changes in mood. When you are regularly getting sunshine, the UV rays, provide your body with vitamin D which has been shown to enhance positive attitudes in human beings. And on a more superficial note people tend to feel better about themselves when they have that radient bronze tone. (Note: Artificial tanning does increase the chances of skin cancer.) However, like tanning from natural sunlight, artificial tanning does have safety precautions that can be taken to decrease the risks.
So, if you're down in the dumps, TRY GETTING YOUR BRONZE ON!
Best Wishes,
Derek
