According to research, sunlight plays a vital role in affecting our general health and happiness. The correlation between light and mood is unquestionable. Our body produces serotonin, a neurotransmitter, that regulates our appetite, moods and memory, and melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. As the sun rises and hits upon our optic nerves, a gland in our brain regulates and decreases melatonin while serotonin levels rise. It results in less sleepiness and makes us healthier physically and emotionally. Moreover, the boost of vitamin D through sunlight decreases our risk of several diseases and enhances healthy bone growth.
