The sun that doesn't reach us ️
Part 1 - The sun that doesn't reach us 🌞➡️🪟 Do you know that when you are behind glass - in the office, car or at home - the sun is no longer the "real" sun? 🔹 The glass blocks UVB rays, which normally activate the synthesis of vitamin D and pregnenolone in our skin - the "maternal" hormone from which testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and cortisol are produced.
🔹 Without UVB, the chain never starts. This means: less energy, lower hormonal balance, drop in libido.
🔹 UVA passes through the glass, but without UVB there is nothing to act on - our brain receives a "day" signal, but our body is left without the hormonal response that is normally activated by the sun. 👉 Result: the brain believes it is daytime, but the hormones are "sleeping". This slowly disrupts our circadian rhythm – the internal clock that governs energy, sleep, appetite and sex hormones. Part 2 – How offices steal our health 🏢💡 In nature, all mammals regulate their hormones in relation to the sun – testosterone and estrogen peak in the summer, decline in the winter. This is a normal cycle. But what's going on today?
🔹 We spend 8-10 hours in offices behind glass and under artificial lighting.
🔹 We see light, but our body does not receive the necessary spectrum - no UVB, no infrared, no complete solar information.
🔹 It's like a "fake sun" - lots of blue light, little UVA, zero UVB. 👉 This is how our circadian rhythm diverges. The brain thinks it is daytime, but hormones are not produced. The result:
• lower testosterone
• energy drop
• chronic fatigue
• weaker immunity
• lack of desire Behind glass you are "illuminated", but without life. Practical tips: how to bring back the natural sun signal ☀️ ✅ Go outside in the morning for at least 10-15 minutes - even when it's cloudy, natural light starts your circadian clock.
✅ Take short breaks during the day outside the office - the sun "feeds" the hormones, not the lamps.
✅ Expose your skin directly to light, not just your eyes - windows filter UVB.
✅ Reduce blue light in the evening - fewer screens and bright lights after sunset.
✅ In winter, infrared lamps or cold showers can be used to maintain natural cycles. 👉 Remember: natural sun is over-the-counter hormone therapy.
