Last week, I challenged you to get 15 minutes of sunlight exposure every morning upon waking up.
Today, let us discuss why this lifestyle change is necessary.
Sunlight exposure has been the subject of numerous studies and the results are overwhelmingly positive.
Increases Metabolism: Sunlight exposure has been shown to increase the body's metabolism, which can help people lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. (Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).
Regulates Sleep-Wake Cycle: Sunlight exposure helps regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, which is essential for weight loss. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that people who get regular sunlight exposure are less likely to be overweight or obese than those who don't.

Improves Cognitive Function: A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that sunlight exposure can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. (Source: Journal of Alzheimer's Disease)
Lowers Blood Pressure: A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that sunlight exposure can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. (Source: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
