Did You Know?

Weather May Affect Your Mood

The summer months are upon us in sunny South Florida and sunshine is the most intimately tied to mood. Sunlight has repeatedly been found to boost positive moods, dampen negative moods, and diminish tiredness. Weather influences our mental health in a myriad of subtle ways. One possibility is that the effects of weather on mood are primarily physiological. Exposing skin to sunlight produces vitamin D, promoting the brain’s production of serotonin, which lifts mood. A study by US psychology researcher Matthew Keller and colleagues showed that beneficial effects of warm and sunny conditions on mood were only seen in people who had spent more than 30 minutes outdoors a day. So make sure to put on your sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses and enjoy the outdoors.

"Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.  I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.  This is the interrelated structure of reality."

— Martin Luther King Jr.
