to many researchers, daylight plays a growing role in the human body and more
precisely in homeostasis. How far it goes in so doing is still a mystery and
scientifically speaking, seems to be at the verge of being identified. Nevertheless it
becomes more and more obvious that daylight by entering our eyes
triggers a cascade of phenomenon that goes beyond what used to be expected from
daylight we tend to take for granted.- It boosts our immune system
- It maintains our serotonin high, making us awake
- Plays a major role in the reproduction system.
- Intervenes in the homeostasis

One of these phenomenon and not the least is hormone synthesis. Daylight participates in the synthesis of three human hormone considered capital in human balance. They are serotonin, melatonin and vitamin D, let alone reproductive hormone, ovulation and the sterols.
To get started, the boost of serotonin is instrumental in our mood and affect. When getting low, serotonin affects human being feelings, generating depression and mood switching. We also know that this lowering is associated with some bipolar symptoms. Medicine faces this situation by lifting up our blood serotonin level.
Finally, vitamin D, the gene proofreader is likewise instrumental in the regulation of many other hormone in our throughout system.
Whatever their role and the organs they target, these light induced-hormones while calling for more interest in this cosmic phenomenon, pave at the same time the way for further investigation. The coming years would witness the growing importance of light in life and as a result its implementation in daily and medical life.
