   "People exposed to bright light early in the day tend to be thinner than those whose sleep schedules or darkened rooms don't expose them to light until afternoon." Kathryn Reid, research professor of neurology
   
   

   According to this study, done at Northwestern University, morning sunlight has bluer rays which synchronize circadian rhythms and support metabolism.  The study recommends 20 minutes of bright light daily between 8:00 a.m. and noon.  Morning sunlight boosts metabolism despite age, physical activity, calorie intake and sleep patterns.  An easy way to help support our metabolism and maintain optimal weight.
