This is Staff Touyama of Life Force Chiropractic!Is everyone prepared for heat stroke and illness in the hot weather? These days, more and more people are suffering from heat stroke😅. So be sure to take water and salt in moderation! In this issue, we will discuss the need for sunbathing! One effect of sunbathing is the production of vitamin D through absorption of sunlight through the skin. Vitamin D is necessary for bone building and is needed to increase bone density. Also, sunlight entering through the retina of the eye produces a substance called serotonin. This serotonin itself is called the happy hormone. The release of serotonin calms the autonomic nervous system and improves physical pain, mood swings, and other symptoms. The best thing to do is to aim for the morning, when UV rays are less intense, and walking for about 30 minutes is necessary. How was it? Let's make sure we get enough sun exposure to eliminate physical discomfort!
