LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) – The official start of spring isn’t until later this month, but with warmer temperatures and longer hours of daylight, you may notice your life is already getting a little better.
Counselor Joel Daugherty says, “Vitamin D. It’s more than just a health booster. It’s a mood booster as well.”
It’s one health supplement you can get completely free, courtesy of the sun.
And longer hours of daylight mean more chances to improve your mood and mental well-being.
But Vitamin D also helps boost your energy, strengthen your immune system, build your bones, and may even help lower the risk of heart disease.
That’s in contrast to a Vitamin D deficiency that can result in mood swings, increased inflammation, and frequent infections, among other things.
So, while the official start of spring isn’t until March 20, try taking a little time outside and enjoy the sunshine to help live your best life.
