What is the Sunshine Vitamin?

“Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.” Walt Whitman Welcome to Autumn! Day-time gets shorter as night-time becomes longer. The sun went down today at 7pm. People are already wearing layers and boots. Cooler evenings are coming.

Sunlight shines on your skin and creates Vitamin D. Just as plants need sunshine for photosynthesis, humans need sunshine for so many body functions.
