Looking To Do Something Good For Your Gut Health?

Looking To Do Something Good For Your Gut Health?

In recent years with the rise of inflammatory diseases in the general population there has been more information about how important your gut is for your overall health and controlling inflammation in the body. Everything from 70% of your immune system is in your gut to the newly discovered gut brain axis where it has been proven that the health of the gut impacts the health of the brain.

The stream of new information also means some new ideas about how you might improve gut health. Specifically, a recent study about the benefit of Ultraviolet B (UVB) light on gut health is one of those new ideas.

An October 2019 study reported by Frontiers in Biology showed that UVB Light, “which is normally achieved through sunlight exposure, can trigger beneficial changes in your gut microbiome.” In the study they showed for the first time that skin exposure to UVB changes the composition of the gut microbiome, possibly via an increase in Vitamin D levels.

The study could not conclude, but only suggested, that the results may “point to there being a novel skin-gut axis hitherto unknown that can enhance gut health via a balanced microbiome.” The authors further explained the results could help better understand how chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorders respond positively to UVB exposure possibly because of the increased vitamin D levels.

The exciting new findings have several impacts including reinforcing that we as human beings need some sunlight for our health. Sunlight is made up of both UVA and UVB rays. The UVA rays produce the tanning effect, but it is the UVB rays on your skin that makes your body produce vitamin D. So is getting adequate levels of sunlight the only way to get UVB? Not anymore.

There is now another option for UVB light available to those in the greater Washington DC area called a Blu Room. The Blu Room is equipped with UVB lights and also healing frequencies of sound and music. The Blu Room UVB lights have been shown that they encourage your body to produce vitamin D when it shines on your skin. This novel solution to getting UVB is available no matter what the weather!

There are 6 Blu Rooms located in the US but only one on the East Coast located in Warrenton, VA at Warrenton Wellness. Stop by, in addition to getting some Vitamin D your gut might thank you too.
