Rediscover the Amazing Benefits of Sunlight for Your Health and Wellbeing
We've been brainwashed into believing that sunlight is bad for us and causes cancer, but this is not true. Sunlight is actually a natural medicine that can help prevent many diseases.
Sunlight is one of nature's most important elements, influencing not only the environment but also human health and well-being. Moderate sunlight can provide multiple benefits that many people overlook.
What are the primary benefits of sunshine and how can it enhance your well-being, both mentally and physically?
1. Sunlight is a Natural Source of Vitamin D
One of the most important advantages of sunlight is its ability to stimulate the production of Vitamin D in the body. This vital nutrient is required for a variety of bodily functions, including calcium absorption, bone health, and immune system support. Simply getting 10 to 30 minutes of sunlight several times a week can help maintain adequate Vitamin D levels.
💡 Strengthened Immune System
Vitamin D modulates the immune system and has anti-inflammatory properties, which lower the risk of autoimmune diseases and infections. A strong immune system is critical to overall health and longevity.
💡 Increased calcium and phosphorus absorption
Natural vitamin D synthesis improves the body's ability to absorb calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. A balanced intake of these nutrients can help prevent osteoporosis and maintain overall skeletal health as you age.
2. Improved mood and mental well-being.
Exposure to sunlight has a significant impact on mood, owing to its effect on serotonin levels. Serotonin, also known as the "feel-good" hormone, helps regulate mood, anxiety, and happiness. According to studies, increased sunlight exposure can boost serotonin levels, lowering the risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and improving overall mental health. Spending time in the sun can boost your energy and mood.
UV touches the brain and central neuroendocrine system to reset body homeostasis. This invites multiple therapeutic applications of UV radiation, for example, in the management of autoimmune and mood disorders, addiction, and obesity.

3. Better Sleep Quality
Sunlight plays an important role in regulating our circadian rhythms, or sleep/wake cycles. Natural light exposure during the day helps our bodies know when to be awake and when to sleep. Increased exposure to sunlight during the daytime can improve sleep quality and duration. This is especially important for people who suffer from insomnia or irregular sleep patterns, as proper lighting cues can help them maintain a healthier sleep cycle.
4. Treatment for Skin Diseases
While excessive sun exposure can cause skin damage, moderate sunlight can actually improve certain skin conditions. Phototherapy, which involves controlled exposure to UV light, has been shown to help conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
5. Eye Health Benefits
While it is critical to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, moderate sun exposure can benefit eye health. Natural light stimulates the release of dopamine in the retina, which helps to reduce children's risk of developing myopia. Spending time outside in sunlight can help you maintain good vision throughout your life.
6 Fixing the Adverse Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines
Of course, all of the above demonstrates that sunlight must be part of the treatment protocol for people who received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Summary
Sunlight has a variety of benefits, ranging from physical health improvements to improved mental well-being. Moderate exposure to sunlight can lead to a more vibrant and healthy lifestyle. Incorporating regular outdoor activities into your lifestyle can help maximize these benefits and ensure that you get the most out of sunlight.
Higher ultraviolet light exposure is associated with lower mortality: An analysis of data from the UK biobank cohort study.
- Higher UV exposures were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality.
- Higher behavioural UV exposure was also associated with lower non-CVD/non-cancer mortality.
- Public health messaging on sunlight exposure may need reconsideration.

After reading this, think about why governments prohibited people from using this natural immune and wellness booster during the COVID pLandemic. If there was a genuine threat, they would advise people to get outside and strengthen their immune systems.
Also common colds are more common in the winter because there is less sun, and vitamin D supplements are less effective and delivered in questionable ways. (See my article on supplements).

Dear readers, I need your help to keep up with my blog and Substack work. I understand that times are difficult for you as well, but if everyone helps a little, it will make a difference. The blog and Substack are the only places where I can apply my knowledge. I don't have a sponsor nor sell supplements, and nothing is free to me. After four years, my LinkedIn profile is still inactive, and I am unable to work in my field of expertise, which is quite broad because it includes both ecology and biomedical sciences. I've lived in many different countries, so I have a wider view on what's going on in the world.
How could you support my work?
You can do it by paypal or by direct transfer on my website (I do not sell or collect your information).
Another way to help me keep going is to become a paid subscriber or founding member.
