Think Sunlight In Your Kitchen or Bath Remodel

When preparing to remodel your kitchen or bath, incorporating natural lighting into your plans can be very important. According to recent studies, there are many benefits to natural sunlight:

Sunlight suppresses your appetite:

Yes, sunlight suppresses your hunger in two ways:

1. By stimulating melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) production into the pituitary gland;

2. By stimulating serotonin production and suppressing melatonin production into the pineal gland. It sounds very scientific, but it’s true!

Sunlight improves your circulation:

Sunlight improves blood circulation by dilating the blood vessels in your skin, thus bringing more nutrients and oxygen to your blood cells, red and white. It also keeps the heart healthy by lowering the heart rate and reduces blood pressure.

Sunlight boosts your immune system:

Sunlight encourages the production of white blood cells, which increase with sun exposure, and play a major role in defending the body against infections.

Sunlight helps to balance your body’s hormones:

Sunlight boosts your levels of serotonin – your body’s natural happy hormone! Which is why we feel happier and full of energy when the sun is shining! It’s been shown that exercising outdoors creates more endorphins in the body than exercising indoors – all thanks to the sun!
