Our June Theme: The Sun

Anne Alloway

Posted on June 15 2017

This month we want to you relish the sun. That said, it’s common knowledge that too much direct exposure to the sun’s rays can be harmful to our health. Finding the right balance is key. Most people only need a few minutes in the sun to start taking advantage of the benefits; but you should always be careful not to let the skin burn.

 

The most clear-cut correlation between sunlight and sexual health is its role in vitamin D. Sunlight helps our bodies convert a substance in our skin called 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency can cause low estrogen in women, which means low sex drive. It also causes low testosterone in men. So if you tend to feel more frisky during the summer than the winter, there’s a very good reason for it – increased vitamin D causes your hormones, and your libido, to peak during the sunny summer months! Vitamin D also has many other health implications outside of libido - but we are trying to stay on topic here!

 

Sunlight also increases levels of serotonin, which helps balance your mood and promotes feelings of happiness. Sun exposure is said to alleviate symptoms of depression, and when combined with exercise the mood boosting effects of sunlight are especially potent. We don't need a doctor to tell us that sunshine feels good and makes us happy - we are creatures of the earth! And like every other one of earth's creatures - the sun sustains us with her warmth and light. Take some time to relish her this month, and in turn relish your own sexy wellbeing!
