The Power of Sunlight
Sunlight and early morning physical activity can increase the release of cortisol, leading to more energy, higher levels of immune function, and improved focus. Viewing sunlight alone can increase cortisol levels by 50%, while intense exercise can amplify it further by 50-75%. This hormone release sets the tone for the rest of the day and helps regulate sleepiness later on. Eating a large meal after exercise can slow down digestion, so it's important to find a balance. Waking up early and exercising before others are awake provides uninterrupted time for productivity. Wearing sunglasses while running in the morning is not to let UV light in, but to prevent sweat from filling the sunglasses. Some individuals prefer not to engage in physically active activities with food in their stomach, especially if they have afternoon activities like Jiu Jitsu. They prefer to eat a big meal after completing their physical activities for the day.
