It’s known that sunlight supplies us with vitamin D, but that’s all do they know that he is able to relieve pain, support our vigilance at night, burn fat, and much more …
Our biological connection and dependence on the sun is so deep that the very change in skin color from African saturated melanin of dark skin, to comparatively poor melanin of light skin Caucasoid skin is a side effect in posterity our later common ancestor from Africa (as defined by mitochondrial DNA), migrated to high light poor latitude.
It started about 60 thousand years ago. To compensate low light, the body quickly adapted, reducing the amount of natural “shielding” melanin from the skin, inhibiting the production of vitamin D.
The latter is involved in the regulation of more than 2 thousand genes and therefore more like a hormone, without which our entire genetic infrastructure would be unstable.
Although the beneficial effects of vitamin D on our health convincingly documented (GreenMedInfo.com resource revealed more than 200 body conditions for which there may be favorable optimization of vitamin D levels), deeper research on the healing properties of sunlight by the scientific community held just now.
Let’s talk about five remarkable properties of sunlight:
1. Sunlight as an anesthetic (analgesic).
In a work published in 2005 in the Journal psychosomatic medicine “and entitled” The Effect of Solar light for receiving postoperative analgesics: promising study of patients undergoing surgery on the spine “was analysis was performed among patients on the sunny side hospital buildings receiving an average of 46% more solar Sveta.
These patients had a reduced sense of stress, they took 22% less pain medication per hour, for them it took 21% less painkillers medicines.
2. Sunlight burns fat.
In a work published in the Journal of Dermatological research, “revealed a remarkable metabolic phenomenon. Illumination of human skin with ultraviolet rays leads to intensification of subcutaneous fat metabolism.
Although subcutaneous fat, unlike visceral fat, is not considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, it is known that a deficit of one of the most famous beneficent sunlight products, vitamin D, is associated with large amount of visceral fat. In addition, many studies showed that vitamin D deficiency is associated with obesity.
One such study, called Vitamin Bond D in plasma with obesity in Hispanics and African Americans, ” published in the journal Anticancer Research, revealed that the amount of vitamin D is inversely related to in relation to obesity, including abdominal obesity.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the most generous in two hours before and two hours after sunny noon, responsible for the production of vitamin D and may be the main strategy for burning fat naturally.
3. Sunlight through solar cycles can directly regulate a person’s life span.
In a 2010 review published in the journal Medical hypothesis, titled “The Effect of Solar Cycles on Duration Human Life in 50 US States: Light Changes Affect the Genome human, “the researchers examined the possibility of direct the influence of solar cycles on the human genome. In work reported:
People conceived and probably born during peaks (maximum about 3 years) 11-year solar cycles, lived an average of 1.7 less than conceived and probably born during absence peaks (at least about 8 years). Increasing energy levels in the period of maximum solar activity, although only by 0.1% in to a minimum, apparently changes the human genome / epigen and entails a predisposition to various diseases that shortens life expectancy. Probably the same boost energy increases the beneficial diversity in the genome that can promote adaptability in a changing environment.
Therefore, exposure to sunlight can directly affect on life expectancy, and can even accelerate genetic changes that give an advantage in survival ability.
4. Exposure to sunlight during the day improves alertness. in the evening.
In 2012, the magazine “Behavioral Neurology” was published work entitled “The Effect of Pre the effects of light on the state in the early evening, subjective drowsiness and hormonal secretion. ”
The subjects studied felt significantly more awake in early evening, if before that were at natural daylight lighting for 6 hours, and felt very sleepy at the end evenings after staying indoors with artificial light.
5. Sunlight can transform into metabolic energy.
If the original hypothesis published in 2008 in “Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine” then the long-standing the assumption that animals are not directly capable to use sunlight is in doubt. Other in words, the skin may contain the melanin equivalent of solar batteries and, like plants, directly “absorb” the solar energy.
Melanin performs various functions in various organisms. From octopus ink before protective coloring based on melanin in bacteria and fungi: protection against predators and similar biochemical threats (defense reactions against foreign organisms), ultraviolet radiation and chemicals such as heavy metals and oxidizing agents.
However, the ability of melanin to transform gamma and ultraviolet radiation into metabolic energy in living systems. For example, in the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear reactor overgrown colonies of unicellular were discovered in Ukraine mushrooms using gamma radiation as an energy source.
Melanin-free Albino fungus has not been shown to able to use gamma radiation in this way. it indicates that gamma rays initiate the unknown so far the process of energy production involving melanin.
