Morgenstund' hat Gold im Mund! Did you know this old saying?

What if this saying was not just about the efficiency of early rising, but our ancestors actually knew something we have forgotten over time?

We love sunlight! We all need it to live, specifically for the production of Vitamin D. That’s why the desire for light is a natural need for most people. It's no secret that sunlight intensity varies throughout the day, but did you know that morning sunlight is almost magical for your body?

Why is that? Sunlight consists of 42% infrared radiation, which can stimulate collagen synthesis, bone formation, and wound healing. This means IR radiation can have an anti-aging effect, significantly reducing wrinkles and scars. But that’s not all! Morning sunlight acts like a little energy boost for your whole body. Recharge, please!

If only it weren’t for the harmful UV rays, right? But wait: Did you know that UV radiation is minimal in the morning? That’s why you should expose your skin to as much morning sun as possible. The best time is between sunrise and 10 a.m..

Maybe you’ll become an early riser after enjoying the positive effects of morning sunlight a few times? Remember: Morgenstund' hat Gold im Mund!
