This leads to reduced risk of bone diseases, fractures and osteoporosis. In addition, a high level of vitamin D in the body is associated with a lower rate of virtually all types of fractures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOOSTS IMMUNITY: <\/strong>When exposed to sunlight, the body makes\u00a0vitamin D to support proper functioning of the T cells that contribute to\u00a0immune defenses. Strong immune system helps body defend invading organisms and antigens. Vitamin D has been found to help modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency appears to be linked to an increased susceptibility to infection and many autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPROVE SLEEP: <\/strong>Regular exposure to morning sunlight helps improve sleep-cycle. Due to sunlight exposure, the optic nerve sends a message to the gland in the brain that produces melatonin, a hormone associated with sleep onset. In addition, sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms (24-hour cycle that regulates biochemical, physiological and behavioural processes that control your sleep cycle) for a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REJUVINATES AGING EYES: <\/strong>Vitamin D3 plays a key role in preventing age-related macular degeneration, which is the most common cause of blindness in the elderly. It helps aging eyes by reducing inflammation, clearing amyloid beta and improving visual function. But, Avoid\u00a0long-term exposure to bright sunlight\u00a0as it may contribute to the development of cataract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPROVES METABOLISM: <\/strong>Sunlight is said to improve metabolism rate speeding up weight loss. Many research studies have shown the effect of UV on suppression of obesity. On the other hand, vitamin D deficiency may contribute to fat accumulation!<\/p>\n<p><strong>EASES DEPRESSION: <\/strong>Serotonin is neurotransmitter that regulates appetite, sleep, memory and mood. In addition, serotonin plays a role in susceptibility to depression and suicide. Regular sunlight exposure can naturally increase the serotonin levels in your body to help lessen stress and fight off mild depression.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know the health benefits of sunlight, make sure you let sunlight shine your health!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know what happens following prolonged exposure to sunlight and hence avoid sun exposure and prefer staying indoors.
