4807. HEALTH TIP: A tattered wing butterfly gets some sunlight.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO TIP. USE A TRIPOD

1.  VIDEO. Use a tripod

2.  IMAGE. Tripod and shutter priority (TV) are important. Canon. TV 1/1000 sec, f/4.5, ISO 1250 for image. The tripod is there when the butterfly flew by, hence I could capture a sharper image of the butterfly.

HEALTH TIP. CONNECT WITH NATURE.

Sunlight enables our skin to make Vitamin D by a chemical process. People who are usually indoors will have fairer skin, but their blood Vitamin levels will be below normal. Vit D is important as it is needed as part of Calcium and Phosphorus to maintain bone health. To prevent osteoporosis.

You will note that recommended "Calcium tablets" sold in pharmacies in Singapore usually have calcium, phosphorus and Vitamin D combination.

Also spend “me time” with nature as retirees do get depressed and sedentary. 

Not to over stress oneself by being sunburnt, as the skin will age faster due to excessive ultraviolet radiation.  Suntan lotion is always advised.

This butterfly has severely tattered wings due to traumatic injuries onto its wings as it flutters amongst vegetation throughout its life.
