Summer = Vitamin D!
SUMMER DROP COMING SOON!!
As the summer starts getting into full swing, it's this time of year that more and more people venture outdoors for their activity. Whether that's running, walking, Yoga in the park or just exercising in the garden, it's when we all start to feel better as we soak up the Vitamin D from the sun's rays (sensibly of course!)
Here are some of the main benefits of exposure to sunlight and the effects of vitamin D on the body:
-
Boosts mood and energy levels. Sunlight helps to regulate the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood and sleep. It can also help to increase energy levels.
-
Supports bone health. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are important for strong bones.
-
May help protect against some cancers. Some studies have shown that vitamin D may help protect against some types of cancer, such as colon cancer and breast cancer.
-
May help boost the immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in the immune system, and some studies have shown that it may help protect against infections.
-
May help improve sleep. Sunlight helps to regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
-
May help reduce the risk of depression. Some studies have shown that vitamin D may help reduce the risk of depression.
So it's time to get outside and soak it in, however you feel like. With that in mind, there will be a Summer drop coming soon for wearing inside and outside, whichever you prefer!
