Sunlight Benefits


Sunlight happens to be one of the greatest healing remedies that you can find in nature.

The sun provides energy that all living things need in order to exist on this earth. When you take it in moderation, there are lots of health benefits of sunshine. If you hide away from the sun, you will not get those benefits.



  • Sunlight is an effective treatment for jaundice. 
  • Sunlight improves the function of your liver and helps it to break down toxins and wastes that could lead to cancer and other diseases.  
  • Sun may decrease your risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancers. 
  • Sunlight helps your body convert a form of cholesterol that is present in your skin into vitamin D.  
  • Sunlight helps to balance out your hormones. 
  • Sunlight is one of the most effective healing agents that exists.
  • Another of the main benefits of sunlight is that it stimulates your appetite and improves your digestion, elimination, and metabolism.




Despite the importance of the sun to vitamin D synthesis, it is prudent to limit exposure of skin to sunlight and UV radiation from tanning beds .Lifetime cumulative UV damage to skin is also largely responsible for some age-associated dryness and other cosmetic changes. Prolonged optical exposure to sunlight, especially intense ultraviolet light, may be linked to cataracts and high levels of high energy visible light may be linked to age related macular degeneration
