Summer sunshine makes most of us feel better, but there may be more to the benefits than just feeling good.
we keep out of the sun but the sun is needed for good health. When you are feeling depressed or low..go sit in the sun or take a walk to make you feel better.
Remember when you were a child and sick, you were taken out in the sunshine to get better.
Do the same..make sure you enjoy being out in the sunshine daily...

Older people who have a severe vitamin D deficiency have an increased risk of developing dementia, a study has suggested.
UK researchers, writing in Neurology, looked at about 1,650 people aged over 65.
This is not the first study to suggest a link - but its authors say it is the largest and most robust.
However, experts say it is still too early to say elderly people should take vitamin D as a preventative treatment.
Get these people outdoors, absorbing sunlight and turning it into vitamin D for goodness' sake!
