I used to avoid the sun, thinking that staying out of it was the healthier choice. But after spending long periods indoors, especially during the darker winter months, I started feeling constantly tired and low. A blood test later showed I was seriously low on vitamin D.

Since then, I’ve made a point to get a bit of sunlight each day. Over time, I noticed my energy and mood improved. That small, consistent exposure to sunlight really does seem to make a subtle but meaningful difference in both body and mind.

Did you get your Vitamin D re-checked? I’ve been low on Vitamin D, recovered it to high levels and noticed basically zero difference over the long term.
