Hi guys how are you???

I hope you are doing well. As many of you know and as it is write in my description I am originally from the South of Italy but for job purpose since few years I am living in UK.

In those days several friends especially during the weekend are sending me their photos on the beach.. swimming... tanning theirself and of course I can only be jealous as honestly speaking last time I saw the sun... was 8 days ago.

I KNOW IT IS CRAZY but it is the true.. cloudy and raining the majority of the time and in here the average temperature I have is 15degrees when at home (Italy) they have already 28/30 during the night.

Since I was a little boy I have been told to cover my skin as the sun could create skin cancer but only if you spend too much time under the sun. It is proved that a bit of sun is good for you. It is good for your humour and your body.

WHY???

EASY! Because the vitamin D, which is made by our bodies through the action of the sun's UVB rays on our skin.
Our body gets the 90+% of vitamin D from the Sun and for whom doesn't know for what the VIT D is important for... well it absorb calcium, keep our bones healthy, and protect against serious chronic diseases later in life such as osteoporosis, Type II diabetes, multiple sclerosis and many common cancers.

OK OK now for sure you will ask yourself what a bloody veterinarian as me could know about it. The answer is that the hormones are similar in Human or in the animals. So lets explain why it is so important...

• SUNSHINE boosts levels of serotonin - the body's natural happy hormone;
• People in the UK are more likely to die of heart disease in winter than in summer, which is believed to be because of low levels of vitamin D (ref. British Medical Journal);
• help to prevent the onset of diabetes
• etc.

So guys as you can see VIT D is very important for our body and if you feel stressed or depressed before doing any STUPID thing, take a deep breath, check your bank status (avoid if is this the reason of your stress) and then ask some day off at work (if you are not working even better as you don't have to ask permission) and spend a weekend or in general a couple of day where the sun is... CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES and then you will feel again HAPPY.

What will I do?? Easy I am gonna go in Italy for a long weekend as I really need to charge my batteries and the only plan is to spend time on the sun.

Do it guys and then come back to me... I am sure that you will thank me for this tip ;)
