Sunshine
Yesterday I ended up spending most of the morning in the sun, it started with our rowing training and then patrol for surf life saving. Patrol was the worst as we spent most of the 3 hours on the rescue boards surfing. Needless to say I ended up crisping my skin.
In my opinion the sun has miraculous psychological powers, after a session surfing my mood always changes for the better. The reversal is also true, after spending a few days cooped up inside I believe almost everyone feels disgusting and down.
The extra energy people feel must be from the warmth and evolutionary reaction to the being in the sun every day. Also there is the vitamin D aspect, my main interest is the muscle development. Think I read somewhere in the 4-hour body about it contributing to testosterone levels.
The problem is Australia happens to have no ozone protection, hence the high levels of deaths attributed to Melanoma.
The Irony is as much as I love the sun I am right now in a fair bit of pain due to this sunburn, I already know that skin cancer will probably get me.
