Reduced Symptoms of PMS

Exposure to bright sunlight has been found to help alleviate some symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome, such as mild depression and mood swings, irritability, physical discomfort and social withdrawal.

Reduction in Frequency of Common Colds

These symptoms include runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, and muscle aches. A 10-20 minute exposure to ultraviolet light one to three times a week results in a reduction of frequency of common colds up to 40.3%.

Controls Obesity

Sunlight, or simulated sunlight, stimulates the thyroid gland, which boosts your metabolism.

Nature’s Skin Protection

It is commonly known that our natural tanning process provides protection against burning. Unlike some sunscreens, a tan provides reliable full spectrum uva/uvb protection against burning. Your natural tan provides protection that does not rub, sweat or wear off the way sunscreen protection can.

Prevention of Some Cancers

People who live in regions with more sunlight, such as New Mexico and Arizona, are known to have lower incidence of death from ovarian, breast and colon cancers than those who live in places with less sunlight, such as New Hampshire and Vermont.

Helps Control Seasonal Depression

Many more people, both old and young, spend more than 23 hours of their 24-hour day indoors. Over the last decade, studies at the National Institute Of Mental Health have produced evidence that the shortage of sunlight during winter produces clinical depression in millions of people. Exposure to sunlight or simulated sunlight for 10-20 minutes once or twice a week shows a 70% improvement in patients with seasonal affected disorder (SAD). Light treatment is the only known cure for the "winter blues".

Increases Sex Drive

When the chest and back are exposed to sunlight, the male sex hormones may increase by up to 120%.

Reduces Fatigue

Various laboratory tests and on-site studies have shown that uv-inclusive light helps workers reduce fatigue, accidents and dramatically increases productivity. Normal fluorescent lighting actually increases fatigue and drains the body of energy and vitamin A.

Reduces Stress

Sunlight exposure decreases adrenaline and or adrenaline levels for an anti-stressing effect and releases endorphins for the feeling of "well-being".

Jet Lag Prevention

Doses of sunlight or simulated sunlight timed carefully upon arrival in a new time zone can reset your body’s biological clock resulting in less daytime drowsiness and better quality nighttime sleep.
