Sunlight and Hormones

Sunlight exposure plays a crucial role in regulating hormones like testosterone and estrogen by activating the p53 pathway in skin cells. Studies show that both UVB light on the skin and light exposure to the eyes are essential for maximizing these hormonal benefits. To enhance mood and feelings of passion, aim for two to three sessions of 20 to 30 minutes of sunlight exposure weekly, while balancing skin health and sun safety.
