Thanks, really good advice. According to my GP, Vitamin D supplements are also crucial to keeping our mood up and we should all be taking 2000 units a day. It's the sunshine vitamin 😎

But the sun is better than the pills, I'll bet

Well apparently, unless you live in the Tropics, it is impossible to get sufficient Vitamin D from sunshine alone (I'm not sure if eating a lot of cheese can compensate)....but psychologically, sunshine beats pills hands down!

I am confused about this advice, because the sun also does a lot of damage. I have spent very little time in the sun and so my skin is very young looking in my 40s, whereas I see very wrinkled people of all ages who were/are sun and beach lovers.

There's also the skin cancer risk.

In addition, I've noticed how South Facing houses, although used as a selling point by estate agents, often have very sun -damaged furniture, curtains, fittings etc.

I guess moderation is everything.
