晒太陽 好處多The Important of Sunshine

再忙也要花點時間做日光浴enjoy some time in the sun

太陽在美麗的藍天上閃耀著光芒，似乎就能讓你我的心情變好。

然而，陽光除了讓我們一整天愉悅開懷之外，還有更多益處。

陽光能觸發大腦釋放荷爾蒙；血清素是會隨著我們暴露在陽光下而增加的荷爾蒙，不僅可以減輕焦慮也能穩定情緒。

此外，陽光還會助長身體產生感覺良好的化學物質。

同樣地，黑暗也會觸發荷爾蒙的生成，從而製造褪黑激素，幫助我們入睡。

我們的皮膚暴露在陽光中的紫外線時，便會產生維生素D；是維持免疫系統、血球、心臟以及骨骼健康所必需的營養素。

維生素D也會與鈣一起作用，而鈣更是骨骼形成的主要成分。

鈣這種礦物質與維生素D產生作用時的效果最好，能有效幫助身體吸收鈣質。

如果你想減重幾公斤，可以考慮在白天稍早的時間待在陽光下大約半小時。

科學家認為，位於皮膚表層底下的脂肪細胞很可能會隨著陽光的照射而縮小。

想要獲得陽光的好處同時保護自己的身體，最好在上午十點之前或下午四點之後晒一會兒太陽

The sun shining brightly in a beautiful blue sky just seems to lift our spirits. However, sunlight has a lot more to offer than just brightening our day. Sunlight triggers the release of hormones in our brains. Thought to increase with our exposure to sunlight, the hormone serotonin not only eases anxiety but also stabilizes moods. Sunlight also increases our body's production of feel-good chemicals. Darkness, too, triggers hormone production and generates melatonin, which helps us sleep.

I've seen this phrase a lot more in the past couple of years, uh, because a trigger warning is what you might have at the beginning of an article or something like that that you've written. Because you know that there’s something inside that article that might trigger some people. That means it might make them upset and think about some terrible memories or something like that.

創傷觸發因素是一種心理刺激，會促使您不由自主地回憶起以前的創傷經歷。刺激本身不必是令人恐懼的或創傷性的，並且可以僅間接或表面地使人聯想到較早的創傷性事件，例如氣味或衣服。觸發因素可能微妙且難以預測。創傷觸發因素也可以稱為創傷刺激，創傷應激源或創傷提醒。將創傷經歷與創傷觸發因素聯繫起來的過程稱為創傷耦合。
