Science behind Sunlight Therapy:

Pineal gland of our brains secrete a hormone called Melatonin. This hormone plays an important role in helping us fall asleep. However, overproduction of this hormone leads to laziness. Production of Melatonin increases during dark/night and falls during daytime. Melatonin production is affected by intensity of sunlight; while Blue/Green rays hinder Melatonin production, Violet/Red rays improve it. Therefore, Sunbathing act at hormonal level to keep disorders at bay. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have conducted various experiments on Melatonin and concluded that intensity of Sunlight, spectrum and time affect health.
