Benefits of Sun Exposure & Vitamin D

Some sun exposure is good!

• It can increase testosterone and estrogen, resulting in better mood or higher libido.
• It gives you a good feeling: Less stress, more energy (and hence more movement) etc.
• Sunlight early in the morning helps with sleeping well and is good for the circadian rhythm.
• It can increase life expectancy, but the relationship between these two is not clear, as the factors mentioned above might interfere.
• Sunlight gives you Vitamin D - and yes, even when wearing sunscreen! However, Vitamin D supplementation can be a good idea in areas with only a little sunlight.
