The Miracle of Sunlight

Moderate sunlight exposure improves mood; strengthens immunity; prevents disease; enhances mental awareness, concentration, intelligence, and productivity; stimulates our metabolism; improves sleep; and boosts our energy levels.

1) prevent cancer ( lowers your risk of colon, prostate, breast, ovarian and even skin cancer );

2) reduce your risk of getting sick (de-creased sun exposure is closely related to your risk of acquiring the flu, a common occurrence during the winter);

3) increase healthy levels of vitamin D, essential not only for healthy bones, but for reducing the risk as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity, and autoimmune disease;

4) lower your blood pressure (in fact, the farther from the equator you live, the higher your blood pressure); and

5) even help babies sleep better at night.

Many health disorders can be traced to problems with the circadian rhythm, the body's inner clock, and how it governs the timing of sleep, hormone production, body temperature, and other biological functions. Disturbances in this rhythm can lead to health problems such as depression and sleep disorders. Natural sunlight and various forms of light therapy can help reestablish the body's natural rhythm and are becoming an integral treatment for many related health conditions.

When light enters the eye, millions of light- and color-sensitive cells called photoreceptors convert the light into electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the optic nerve to the brain where they trigger the hypothalamus gland to send chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to regulate the autonomic functions of the body. The hypothalamus is part of the endocrine system whose secretions govern most bodily functions-blood pressure, body temperature, breathing, digestion, sexual function, moods, the immune system, the aging process, and the circadian rhythm. Full-spectrum light (containing all wavelengths) sparks the delicate impulses that regulate these functions and maintain health.
