Neuroscientist breaks down why sunlight is as vital as diet and exercise

WATCH: Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman wows Bill Maher’s audience as he breaks down why sunlight is as vital as diet and exercise.

Nothing will make you want to step outside for sunlight more than this 3-minute clip.

• Getting morning sunlight is “one of the very best things you can do for your sleep, your mood, your wakefulness, for your mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell).”

• It triggers melatonin release at night for deeper, natural sleep.

• Just 2–3 days of morning exposure boosts energy and immunity.

• “And we can actually say that if you’re concerned about longevity, mental health, physical health, that morning sunlight viewing is really the anchor to all of it.”
