The More You KNow:
Spring is Good for you!
MORE SUN! Following the spring equinox, days begin lasting longer and nights get shorter. Daylight Saving Time gives you even more light hours to get things done. Those extra hours of sun can be a major mood-booster, according to some research. A 2016 study of students in counseling at Brigham Young University found that the longer the sun was up during the day, the less mental distress people experienced.
Sunlight = VITAMIN D: Sunlight triggers your body to produce vitamin D, which keeps your bones strong. One Spanish study found that in Valencia (which shares a latitude with Philadelphia, Denver, Baltimore, Kansas City, and several other major U.S. cities), people only need 10 minutes outside with a quarter of their bodies exposed to the spring sunshine to get an adequate daily dose of vitamin D.
