Morning Sunlight and Serotonin Production
Morning exposure to sunlight plays a crucial role in serotonin production in both the gut and the brain, enhancing gut motility and promoting a positive mood. This process not only sets the stage for a healthy gut microbiome but also provides sustained benefits throughout the day. After 12 to 16 hours of light exposure, the production of melatonin occurs, aiding in restful sleep. Incorporating this simple habit can lead to significant health improvements over time, akin to a snowball that grows larger and more impactful with consistent effort.
