Melatonin is commonly thought of as a sleep hormone that goes up before bedtime to make you sleepy. It’s profoundly delayed by exposure to any artificial lights, especially blue light. It’s been recently discovered that melatonin is also produced by the mitochondria in every cell of your body in response to the near-infra-red (NIR) spectrum of sunlight. Melatonin in the mitochondria is a powerful antioxidant, as well as activating various other anti-oxidants, such as glutathione. Eating a poor diet, including processed foods, alcohol, seed oils, and high fructose corn syrup can create free radicals, which can injure the mitochondria as well as DNA. This can also lead to cancer. Near-infra-red (NIR) light can penetrate your clothing, skin, and even your skull. NIR is also found in campfires, fireplaces, and candles. It’s important to get exposed to plenty of daytime sunlight, especially in the early morning or late afternoon hours, when UV A and B are at their lowest.
