The days are getting longer, and the weather is getting warmer. That means one thing: Summer is almost here! For many kids, summer is a time to take a break from school. They can go swimming, go to camp, or take a family trip.
Having some fun under the sun can also be good for your health. When you soak in the sun’s rays, your body produces more vitamin D, which helps strengthen your bones and teeth.
But many people prefer the colder winter weather. They argue that it’s easier to keep warm by layering on hats and coats than it is to cool down in the heat. Plus, you’re less likely to get a painful sunburn when you’re bundled up. And some kids think there’s nothing better than warming up with a mug of hot cocoa after a day of ice skating.
Also, experts point out that colder weather comes with its own benefits. For example, studies have found that some people think more clearly in cooler temperatures.
