Don't hide from the sun. How Sunlight influences belly fat and body recomposition.

What if I told that sun exposure is one of the most underutilized levers for body composition? It is affecting visceral fat, muscle strength and function, and metabolic health through 4 distinct biological system. Today we talk about how the sun stimulates the production of vitamin D, Nitric oxide and melatonin, and how sunlight sets our circadian rhythm.  You will learn how belly fat, fat and muscle respond to the sun, and you will learn how to harness the life-giving and energy-giving power of the sun. This is my encouragement to not hide from the sun this summer and not block your skin from making these amazing signaling molecules, especially if you want to lose weight and have more energy.
