Alican Elkorek, who made a name for himself with his broadcasts on the “Human Conditions” channel on YouTube, shared important information about sunlight that will interest all of us. In his video titled “The importance and value of light in our holistic health”; Explaining the positive contributions of sunlight to the human body and soul, Elkorek shared details that will add ‘quality’ to all of our lives.
Elkorek said, “The sunlight received at sunrise positively affects our mood, the quality of our sleep, our concentration and even our sexual life by balancing our dopamine level throughout the day,” and underlined the importance of the light at sunrise in our lives.
Elkorek shared the following information:
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT ON US?
First, let’s talk about what very short light is. Light is a type of electromagnetic energy. Light moves in wavelengths and each wave contains energy. Different wavelengths can penetrate tissues at different depths. For example, longer ones, such as red light, penetrate through the tissue and reach our cells. The ways in which light can affect our body can be direct or indirect. In other words, we can experience the benefits of this biologically from our eyes, brain and skin.
OUR MELATONIN BALANCE AND HOLISTIC HEALTH
I would like to talk about a molecule that we should be big fans of: Melatonin. It is a hormone produced by our brain in dark environments as a response to darkness. It regulates our internal 24-hour rhythms and allows us to fall asleep. This 24-hour internal cycle called our circadian rhythm; It progresses healthily with natural melatonin production.
If you are taking melatonin supplements; Just stop and think. Because scientists have been very skeptical about melatonin supplements lately. During the time you use them, the rhythms in melatonin release change a lot and we may have problems getting back into order with natural melatonin release. That’s why I remind you that the world’s most powerful melatonin supplement, which is the main subject of this article, is right above us every day; sunlight
Sunlight activates a cell in our brain that stops melatonin production and blocks that part. The less melatonin we secrete during the day by exposing ourselves to sunlight, the more energetic we feel and can keep our mood alive and high. Thanks to sunlight, we suppress the release of melatonin until the end of the day, and thus, we can sleep much better and deeper at night. Then, we can wake up very fit and rested in the morning, then go out into the sunlight again in the morning and continue this healthy physical cycle.
The key is: As soon as we wake up in the morning, we take ourselves outside for at least 10-15 minutes and expose ourselves to sunlight, whether the weather is cloudy or clear. Of course, do not look directly at the sun, just spend time outdoors, walk around, walk, stretch, stay outdoors and face the sun. Do this without sunglasses. There should be no glass or windows in between. If you use contact lenses or prescription glasses, there is no problem.
You will feel much more energetic and better, your motivation will increase in every aspect, and best of all, you will sleep much better. In the evening and when the sun sets, we move to the dark side. Do not turn on the bright lights in your home, do not be exposed to white lights, create a dimly lit environment with red lights and candle lights. Always use low dimmable and dim lights after dark. As you feel how well you sleep and how refreshed you wake up, you will want to practice it more and hopefully it will become the number one health habit you add to your life.
Sunlight and Our Sexual Desire
Now let’s get to a sexy topic; Have you ever noticed that when summer comes there is more sexual activity in yourself and in people? So why and how does this happen? Here’s why: Sunlight. Since Melatonin, which blocks the production of testosterone and estrogen, which are critical for the desire to mate, is blocked when we are exposed to sunlight, we can scientifically say that we are more willing in these areas during long summer days. For both men and women, this situation is actually related to desire and being desired, that is, it is related to our arousal. As a result, in the summer months, it is the light and its main source, the sun, that increases testosterone and estrogen and our desire to mate. Do not think that this does not have an effect in winter, the sunlight we are exposed to in winter also has the same effect, here only because the dosage is much higher and socialization has increased in the summer months, it is felt more and ultimately experienced more.
Sunlight and Our Mood
In fact, rather than the light itself, the color of light we are exposed to and at what time period determines the balance of our mood, which changes thanks to the light. Exposure to the sun during the day improves our mood greatly. Thanks to photons, it directly gives us energy and increases our ability to focus, our motivation and our love for life. However, exposure to the same light throughout the night harms us. Exposure to various artificial lights, especially between 10 o’clock in the evening and 4 o’clock in the morning, that is, being regularly exposed to too much light at night, can cause poor quality sleep, rapid aging, low mood and even depression if chronic. That’s why we need to sleep in a pitch black environment.
So What Should We Do After All?
We wake up in the morning, we don’t look at our phone, we don’t drink coffee for at least 1 hour after waking up. As soon as we wake up, we quickly throw ourselves into the open air. Every morning, we are exposed to the sun outdoors without sunglasses for only 5-10 minutes if the weather is sunny, or 20-30 minutes if the weather is cloudy. It’s more important to do this if the weather is cloudy, because we don’t get as much sunlight during the day as we think. I remind you: We do not look directly at the sun. Being outdoors is enough. We allow photons and neutrinos to be good for our brain, body and soul. We must trust the healing of the sun and its contributions to our health. In fact, both science and science say this. I generally use this time by walking outdoors or grounding myself by stepping on the ground. Doing this in the morning is one of the habits that is best for our physiology.
That’s it for today. Don’t forget to get your light in the morning.
Take good care of yourself. Don’t forget to follow us and turn on notifications.
Goodbye. Endless Love!
