Khaberni - Health experts confirm that early rising and exposure to sunlight in the early morning hours can directly reflect on improving the mental and physical state, in addition to its role in regulating the body's daily rhythm and boosting energy levels.
Experts, according to the "Health Shots" website, indicate that going out in the morning sunlight is among the simple but effective habits, as it helps improve mood, supports the overall balance of the body, and prepares for a more stable start to the day from both the health and psychological aspects.
Resetting the Biological Clock
Cardiothoracic surgeon Jeremy London explains that exposure to low-angle morning sunlight plays a fundamental role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, by sending signals to the brain to start daily activity, which contributes to adjusting the body's biological rhythm.
He adds that this early exposure to light also helps regulate the secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin, ensuring better sleep at night and a more active wake-up in the morning.
Supporting Mental Health and Mood
London affirms that morning sunlight is linked to improved mental health and increased alertness, in addition to its role in supporting the metabolism process through regulating key hormones such as serotonin and cortisol, reflecting on mood stability and energy levels throughout the day.
He says, "Going out in the morning is one of the best things that can be done for mental health, metabolism, and mood, as it boosts serotonin, regulates cortisol, and maintains stable energy throughout the day."
According to the specialists, spending time outdoors in the morning provides a calmer start to the day, away from direct stresses, offering a chance for reflection and regaining psychological balance before engaging in daily tasks.
London adds that this routine, even if done a few times a week, can make a noticeable difference in lifestyle and contribute to improving the overall quality of the day.
