Get enough sunlight

People who have the seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which occurs when they do not receive enough sunlight throughout the winter, may experience sadness or depression. Dopamine and other mood-enhancing neurotransmitters can be found in greater amounts during times of high sunlight exposure than during periods of low sunlight exposure.

The reward and movement areas of the brains of 68 healthy people were found to have the highest density of dopamine receptors in those who had been exposed to the most sunshine over the previous 30 days. While receiving some sun may increase dopamine levels and boost mood, it's still crucial to follow safety guidelines because too much sun exposure may be harmful.
