2. A sunbath

Especially during the winter, we often don’t realize that we run the risk of never exposing our body to sunlight: we step in our office when the sun isn’t still high, and we go out when it’s already night.

Sunlight is fundamental to adjust the production of melatonin and also strengthen our bones.

All we need is 10 minutes a day under the sun to ensure an increasing production of melatonin during the evening!
