Afraid of the sun? You shouldn’t be!
Best time for sunlight exposure are sunrise and sunset but s a short controlled sunlight exposure around noon is also extremely beneficial for our health. Keep it short 5 to 10 minutes and remember that excessive UVB exposure can lead to negative consequences, such as sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. #

Why vitamin D production decreases?
Weaker UVB rays: During fall and winter, the sun’s rays hit the Earth at a more slanted angle, reducing the amount of UVB radiation that can pe*****te the atmosphere.
Less sun exposure: Shorter days and the tendency to spend more time indoors during colder months limit your skin’s ability to produce vitamin D.
Reduced skin efficiency: As people age, their skin becomes less efficient at producing vitamin D.

Menopause “rewires” the brain by causing physical and functional changes in brain structure and connectivity due to fluctuating and declining estrogen levels. This can lead to cognitive symptoms like “brain fog,” forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating, as well as mood changes, anxiety, and depression. Do not panic, even though the hormonal changes are out of our control there are many interventions that can make the process less difficult.
1. Healthy and balanced diet: more protein, more veggies, more fruit. Less sugar, less processed food, less simple carbs.
2. Walking 20 to 30 minutes daily and strength training 2 to 3 times a week.
3. Avoid toxins: smoking, alcohol, unnecessary stress and toxic people.
4. Make sleep your number 1 priority in life (LOL).
5. Keep calm. It won’t last and the rewards are endless! The low estrogen phase will make you more assertive, more centered and less people pleasing. 🙌🏼.

It takes courage to break the resistance and be able to live the life you haven’t lived yet. Many surprises are waiting for us on the other side but it certainly takes determination and strength to be able to step away from our comfort zone. Wishing we can all find the courage!!!
