Benefits of Sun Gazing
Encourage the Production of Vitamin D and Hormones
Exposure to the sun may encourage the body to release the following vitamin and hormones:
– Vitamin D: When the skin is exposed to sun rays, it will produce more vitamin D, which plays many important roles in skin health, bone growth, fighting cancer, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, and better immune system.
– Melatonin: Sun gazing may improve the functions of the pineal gland, which is responsible for releasing melatonin. This is also known as the sleep hormone as it may help improve your sleep quality and circadian rhythm
– Serotonin: Sunlight may also encourage the production of serotonin, which is known as the feel-good hormone. It may help promote calmness, focus, and mood [5]
