Sunlight May Contribute to Weight Loss

Some people experience weight gain over the winter, but it may not be entirely due to holiday foods. 

Did you know that the dark winter months may contribute to weight gain?

Researchers at the University of Edmonton, Canada found that exposure to sunlight can cause certain fat cells under the skin “tend to shrink under the effect of the sun’s so-called blue light — that is, the visible type of light that boosts attention and mood during the day.”

Researchers at this point have no idea how much sunlight is needed to contribute to weight loss, but they are hopeful that the new finding will assist scientists in their efforts find effective approaches helping people.
