Your eyes and skin are your solar panels. If you charge them correctly, they will power your entire body.⠀
⠀
​When we talk about benefits of sunlight, we think vitamin D, but the nuances and role that the sun plays in the human body goes far further.⠀
​⠀
Your solar panels are you your skin and eyes. When you expose skin to middle day sun, we convert vitamin D. It’s also the sunlight that can burn if you expose too much.⠀
⠀
SUNRISE is a different type of light.⠀
​⠀
All sunlight is 42% infrared light. Infrared light stimulates collagen, increases bone healing and heals wounds. So, sunrise is great for your gums and teeth.⠀
​⠀
Sunrise contains little to no UV, so expose as much skin to the morning sun as you can.⠀
​⠀
This type of infrared light is also anti-ageing; it reduces wrinkles and scars. That’s not what you usually hear about sunlight is it!⠀
⠀
​Infrared light, along with cellular water, is crucial when it comes to charging your body and creating energy.⠀
⠀
The benefits of morning sun play a critical role as to how we utilize sunrays found in light over the day. Infrared light around sunrise preconditions our skin to protect us from the UVA and UVB that comes out a bit later.⠀
​⠀
Catch enough infrared light early in the morning and you’re less likely to burn later in the day.⠀
⠀
Then around 10am, UVA raises its head a little bit later in the morning. It is critical in making Nitric Oxide (the substance we release from the nasal sinuse and exercise). Nitric oxide drastically increases mitochondrial energy, your memory, and it’s anti-aging.⠀
⠀
UVA light also triggers the production of serotonin and dopamine and releases endorphins along with a small opiate effect. The end result? You feel good.⠀
​⠀
So if there’s one health recommendation I can make, it's to get up with the sunrise, watch it and expose your eyes, skin, and brain to the benefits of sunlight.⠀
​⠀
​Did you know the benefits of morning sun? Anyone catch the sunrise today?

How does it make you feel?
