Despite what you hear, there are many benefits to UV light, including: Improves electrocardiogram readings (heart function) Lowers blood pressure and resting heart rate Improves cardiac output Reduces cholesterol, if required Increases glycogen stores in the liver Balances blood sugar Enhances energy, endurance, and muscular strength Improves the body’s resistance to infections due to an increase of lymphocytes and phagocytic index (the average number of bacteria ingested per leukocyte of the patient’s blood) Enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood Increases sex hormones Improves resistance of the skin to infections Raises one’s tolerance to stress and reduces depression Stimulates thyroid hormone production Boosts metabolism Protects you from skin cancer Aids in the production of Vitamin D There’s also the other end of the visible light spectrum, called infrared, which has its own benefits, including: Better wound healing Builds exclusion zone water Stimulates hair growth Reduces pain and inflammation Stimulates mitochondrial health Promotes insulin sensitivity Enhances bone regeneration Promotes neurogenesis Nature doesn’t make mistakes. The human body has perfect self-regulating mechanisms that protect it from the harshness of certain elements in Nature. For example, after swimming in a sea or lake for an extended period, you may notice skin swelling, shivering, and circulatory signs. This is the body letting you know it is time to get out of the water. Get too close to a fire? Who hasn’t touched a hot stove as a child and immediately regretted it. But you learned your lesson, right? As mentioned above, the list of benefits is literally endless. One can argue that sunlight is actually the most powerful broad-spectrum medicine on the planet. There’s more about the science behind this in my new book: How to Get World Class Sleep! If you’ve struggled with insomnia, have trouble falling asleep, or wake up feeling sluggish, then this is for you! Fall Asleep Faster. Recover More Quickly. Wake Up Refreshed!

Niels Reiberg Finsen began using sunlight as a treatment for primarily two diseases: smallpox and tuberculosis of the skin (due to lack of Vitamin D). He also discovered that UV radiation benefited those who had been diagnosed with lupus vulgaris, a skin condition. As I mentioned, he ended up winning a Nobel Prize for his work in 1903, a year before he passed away. Between him and Dr. Auguste Rollier, they found that heliotherapy can actually have an enormous amount of benefits, including: Helping with acne, psoriasis, burns, eczema, and other skin disorders Regulating muscular stimulation and relaxation Improving Seasonal Affective Disorder Lowering high blood pressure Decreasing high cholesterol Lowering high blood sugar in diabetics Increases white blood cell counts Improved cardiac output Improved blood oxygen carrying capacity Reducing body odor Boosting the body’s immune system Boosts metabolism Reducing bacteria count by as much as 50% from infections Decontaminating blood transfusions Improving DNA repair Irradiating the blood of cancer patients Improving symptoms of hyperbilirubinemia (neonatal jaundice) Improved kidney function By 1933, the two of them recorded over 165 different diseases that could benefit from sunlight exposure.
