The commencement of spring provides a multitude of avenues to Live Life Well, predominantly through increased exposure to daylight hours. The impact of the sun on our bodies is undeniably substantial.
Perhaps its most known advantage, sunlight initiates the synthesis of Vitamin D within our skin. This essential vitamin aids in the absorption of calcium, which is paramount for preserving bone density and preventing osteoporosis. As we age, our bodies’ capacity to generate Vitamin D diminishes, thereby amplifying the significance of sun exposure. According to the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, approximately 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass, emphasizing the importance of Vitamin D intake.
Sunlight boosts serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and promotes feelings of happiness and well-being. This can be particularly beneficial for older individuals who may encounter seasonal affective disorder, depression, or similar mood-related challenges.
Sunlight helps regulate our circadian rhythm, the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Exposure to sunlight during the day can improve sleep quality at night. This is especially important for seniors, as sleep patterns can alter with age.
Sunlight is crucial for bolstering immune function. While Vitamin D’s contribution to immune support is well-documented, research from Georgetown University Medical Center also indicates that sunlight, through a mechanism separate from vitamin D production, energizes T cells, which are critical for immunity. Maintaining a strong immune system is essential for seniors to ward off illness and maintain overall health.
The National Institute of Health suggests that Vitamin D can reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Adequate exposure to sunlight, and consequently sufficient vitamin D, can contribute to maintaining mental clarity.
At Village on the Park Rogers, we prioritize the creation of spaces that maximize natural light. Our residences feature expansive windows and thoughtfully designed communal areas that enable residents to enjoy the sun’s warmth and picturesque views.
Our beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces and organized activities encourage walks with neighbors, outdoor social gatherings, or relaxing with a book while soaking up the sun’s rays. Additionally, we arrange excursions to local Rogers parks and scenic off-campus locations.
While the benefits of sunlight are substantial, practicing safe sun exposure is crucial. We recommend:
