It snaps onto the collar of our blouse or t-shirt, and is able to detect the amount of light perceived by our eyes, and UV dose captured by our skin.<\/p>

Developed by a U.S. start-up backed by doctors, Sunsprite is an innovative gadget to whether or not we are lacking the sun.\u00a0Remember that not seeing enough of daylight often presents risks to health \u2013 vitamin D deficiency, fatigue, seasonal depression...<\/p>

Conversely, there is no point taking in excessive amounts.\u00a0We cannot synthesize more than a certain amount of vitamin D daily.\u00a0In other words, there is no need to roast on the beach 8 hours a day during the holidays<\/a> in the hopes of making up for it.\u00a0Take note that suddenly going under the harsh sun for long periods<\/a> when you are unused to it increases the risk of skin cancer.<\/p>

The only downside is that we all have different levels of ability to make vitamin D, depending on our age, our skin, genetics, our weight, etc... This means that though Sunsprite can give us valuable information, it unfortunately cannot be as accurate as we would like. We\u00a0can only hope the v2.0 will be more efficient!<\/p>
