Bright light, good mood, sunglasses and beautiful tan

Have you ever wondered why you sunburn while your kid gets a beautiful tan?

If yes, next time you go to the beach take off your sunglasses.
 
Your eyes tell your brain (pituitary gland) how bright is outside, if it is bright brain releases hormones that kick melanin production into high gear. 

With sunglasses on, you are fooling your body into thinking that is dark, but the joke is literally on you, you burn.

Also, the light control of hormone levels affects our moods. 

Next time when you get awakened by the alarm clock before sunrise, try to turn on a bright natural light over your bed and bask in this artificial sun for a few minutes. You will notice that your day will be happier and you get a nicer tan on the beach.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
