Sun gazing is the practice of gazing at the sun when it is safe to do so. An hour after sunrise, and the hour that the sun sets.
You should never sun gaze at any other time, as the suns rays are too strong and will damage your eyes.
Sun gazers believe that sun gazing stimulates the pineal gland as the sunlight moves through the eyes and stimulates the hypothalamus tract, which is the pathway to the rear of the retina that leads into the brain.
An interesting study has also proven that sun gazing at the right time.
-Increases the size of the pineal gland, which normally decreases as we age.
-Boosts production of serotonin
-Boosts production of melatonin
-Adrenal gland function and cortisol output is optimised through exposure to light.
-Exposure to UV light also generates nitric oxide.
-Nitric Oxide can regulate anxiety and social behaviours, it also stimulates the release of insulin and human growth hormone.
The two most common nitric oxide supplements are L-arginine and L-citrulline.
L-arginine is an amino acid, or a protein building block, naturally found in red meat, dairy products, poultry, and fish. Manufacturers produce it in a laboratory as a pill, powder, or cream.
L-citrulline is also an amino acid found in meat, nuts, legumes, and watermelon. Manufacturers can also make L-citrulline in a laboratory and package it as a pill or powder.
I would recommend sun gazing and a healthy diet as opposed to supplements.
