You must be wondering, starts Walter Helwich, if the sun is good or bad for you? After a few decades of many terrible works, books and shows about the disastrous effects of sunlight on our health, the truth is really hard to tell. Are we really become the only mammal species on the planet that has aversion to sunlight? In the following several quotes Walter Helwich tries to explain this question.
Sunlight increases the amount of serotonin, which is a natural hormone of happiness. Due to this we are happier and more satisfied after sunbathing. Regular sun exposure (just 15 minutes a day with at least 40% of the skin uncovered), destroys and annuls depression of medium strength, especially if the sunbathing is combined with moderate exercise, such as swimming or walking for half an hour a day. By this our body excretes neurotoxins such as fluoride and mercury, which are one of the biggest threats to our health. If we combine physical outdoors activity with sunbathing our body creates natural endorphins, which are mild opiates and act analgesic and anxiolytic.
A study published by the British Medical Journal shows that in fact more people die of heart attacks during the winter than during the summer. Since the sunlight eliminates depression and increases the work of the parasympathetic nervous system, including the cranial nerves which reduce heart beats and relax the body, mind and muscles, it is quite clear how important is the impact of our sun in the psycho-somatic health of the human species. British scientists believe that reduced heart beats during the summer are associated with the production of vitamin D. Namely, a reduction of vitamin D during the winter or its complete lackage has a serious negative impact on the cardiovascular system, immune system, as well as the calcification of the glands, especially the pituitary gland.
