At Nimaya, we're always looking to share valuable insights and tips to help you achieve holistic well-being.
A topic that often goes unnoticed but plays a significant role in our overall health and vitality—our eyes and their relationship with sunlight.
Have you ever wondered why our eyes feel so refreshed and invigorated after spending time outdoors under the radiant sun? It's not just a coincidence; it's the natural response of our body's intricate systems.
Years of research and extensive studies in the fields of light, vision and consciousness have identified the vital importance of full-spectrum light, especially sunlight for our overall well-being.
This includes the stimulation of the brain and pineal gland and suggests that excessive reliance on sunglasses can limit the beneficial effects of sunlight on our body's natural rhythms and balance.
The Importance of Sunlight on our Wellbeing
Pioneer researcher and author of numerous books, Dr. Jacob Lieberman emphasises the importance of sunlight and the potential drawbacks of excessive sunglass usage and believes sunlight is not only essential for our vision but also for our overall health and vitality.
Sunlight provides the nourishing energy that fuels our body, mind, and spirit and by embracing the natural light of the sun, we awaken our innate potential and allow our entire being to thrive.
And natural sunlight is a potent source of Vitamin D, crucial for numerous health benefits. It strengthens bones, enhances immune function, improves mood, regulates blood pressure, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
Here are 3 great reasons to reconsider how often you wear sunglasses and why it's time to embrace the natural benefits of sunlight!
1. Nourish Your Eyes with Full Spectrum Light: Our eyes are designed to receive and process the entire spectrum of light. Sunlight contains a wide range of wavelengths, including vital blue and ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are essential for various physiological functions. By wearing sunglasses excessively, we limit the beneficial effects of these rays on our eyes, potentially depriving them of crucial nourishment.
2. Support Your Pineal Gland's Biorhythmic Control: The pineal gland, often referred to as the "third eye," is a small but powerful gland located deep within our brain. It regulates our sleep-wake cycles, hormone production, and overall circadian rhythms. Sunlight, particularly in the early morning, stimulates the pineal gland, ensuring its optimal functioning. By reducing our reliance on sunglasses, we can provide our pineal gland with the full spectrum light it needs to effectively govern our body's natural rhythms.
3. Boost Your Mood and Energy Levels: Exposure to sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, commonly known as the "feel-good" hormone. Serotonin helps regulate mood, promotes a sense of well-being, and boosts our energy levels. By allowing our eyes to soak in the natural sunlight, we can harness its mood-enhancing properties and experience an overall uplift in our mental and emotional state.
Remember, moderation is key.
While it's important to expose your eyes to sunlight, it's equally crucial to protect them from excessive exposure to harmful UV rays. The safest time to be in the sun is generally in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun's rays are less intense. This reduces the risk of sunburn and minimizes exposure to harmful UV radiation.
Consider gradually reducing your reliance on sunglasses, starting with short periods of time and gradually increasing. Always consult with an eye care professional to ensure you strike the right balance between receiving the benefits of sunlight and protecting your eyes.
