Health Benefits of Sunlight (Light)

Being in the sun generally makes people feel good, and there are many scientific reasons for this effect. I can attest to this theory. I worked in a factory most of my life, inside of 4 walls and no windows. But when I wasn’t at work I was outside, which works well with me being a photographer.

Take for example the two photos below, when I look at the first photo I see an ok picture, nothing to get excited over, for me.

But look at the difference when the clouds started to clear up and the warm sun light started to bring the world around me to life. This is what excites me when I am out wandering in nature. It immediately gives me a warm feeling and lightens my mood.

Health Benefits of Sunlight

Some of the effects of being in the sun is exposure to UVB rays, which causes human skin to produce beta-endorphins, which are hormones that reduce pain. Their other benefits include:

  • promoting a sensation of well-being and improving mood
  • boosting the immune system
  • relieving pain
  • promoting relaxation
  • helping wounds heal
  • helping people feel more alert
  • reducing depression

Makes One wonder if we were not designed that way.

Darkness is always the antithesis of light Freedom Comes From the Light that is placed in our heart

I am born again in the word, nobody taught me except the voice of the Creator within me.

Let your dreams dance on the windowpanes of your Heart in the never-ending Light

  1. Such an inspiring post.

    But specifically, sunlight has different kinds with different benefits.

    Growing up, I learnt that the morning sunshine gives vitamin D, which is through. And then, the afternoon sunlight is very disastrous to the skin.

    To know how harsh the afternoon sunlight is, just visit Africa 😊😂

    Nice post 👍❤️

    1. Thank you very much, yes I love the morning light so much better, it is the best time for photography as well.

  2. I think photographers always look at the outside differently than non-photographers. Probably a factor as to why they’re doing so poorly – and why they’re always looking for light and interesting perspectives – never taking the default view to capture the moment forever.

  3. But look at the difference when the clouds started to clear up and the warm sun light started to bring the world around me to life. This is what excites me when I am out wandering in nature. It immediately gives me a warm feeling and lightens my mood.

  4. Wonderful information, I recommend that all my client’s get their vitamin D level check for mood. Will start sharing the other reasons to for them to sit in the sun.

  5. Wonderful truths Sandra ! The light brings warmth and life, which is why Jesus is the Light of the World, and we celebrate him . I look forward to the amazing time where there will be no night or darkness but constant warm light, as Jesus becomes our perpetual light. Yes, the health benefits are many, as we were created to be creatures of the Light and not the darkness. Loved the way you added light and warmth to your photos.

  6. I find photographers are always looking at the outdoors differently than the non-photographer. Likely due to those behind a camera always looking for the light and interesting perspectives – never taking the default view in order to capture a forever moment.

    1. I agree, we are always looking for the light. That is what catches my eyes the most. Sun light though the trees and sparkles on water are mesmerizing to me.

  7. It’s also the best way to soak up the very necessary and highly beneficial Vitamin D, especially in these times and during this time of year, to help keep our immune system in top condition. Thank you for this post and the photos Sandra. Have a Blessed weekend as well.

  8. What a wonderful contrast that you have shared. The pictures are amazing too. There are things that we can’t survive without and sunlight is one of them. And then there is SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) that I hope you know of.

    1. Yes, I have heard of that. Even in the winter I go outside and sit in the sun and go for walks. It really helps. 😊
