🌞 The Healing Science of Sunlight
When we think of sunlight, vitamin D is usually the first thing that comes to mind…
But did you know sunlight does so much more than that?
💡 Science now shows that the full spectrum of natural light — not just UV rays — plays a vital role in:
✨ How we sleep
✨ How we feel
✨ How our cells create energy
☀️ Here’s why it matters:
• Morning sunlight helps reset your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that governs your sleep, digestion, and hormones. Just 10–15 minutes outdoors soon after waking helps your brain release serotonin (your “feel-good” chemical) and boosts nighttime melatonin production for deeper sleep.
• Infrared light, which you can’t see but feel as warmth, can pe*****te deeply into tissues and support mitochondrial energy production — the tiny “power plants” inside your cells.
• Exposure to natural daylight has been linked to improved mood, better immune balance, and even lower blood pressure. Research shows people who spend more time outdoors have reduced stress hormones and increased resilience.
💫 In the words of Dr Roger Seheult, “Sunlight is one of the most accessible and under-utilised tools we have for improving health.”
So today — step outside.
Let the light touch your skin (safely).
Breathe deeply.
And remember that you’re charging your cells, calming your mind, and aligning your body with nature’s perfect rhythm. 🌿
