Living in a house with lots of natural light. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 90% of our time is spent indoors. Precisely for this reason, it is very important that we take care and value the amount of natural light we receive daily. Otherwise, failure to do so can lead to physical and psychological problems that over time can complicate our lives.
Inadequate lighting can cause fatigue, headaches, eye fatigue, stress, and insomnia, and can even cause us to adopt certain inappropriate postures that end up triggering muscular problems.
These are some of the advantages of living in a place with plenty of natural light
- It reduces the consumption of artificial light: natural light is free, so the greater the number of windows and balconies you have at home, the more energy savings you will make. Your bill will change completely because you will only consume when the sun’s rays are really gone. Less spending on light bulbs, less spending on lamps, and less spending on energy consumption. All this guarantees you greater sustainability.
- It allows you to have more green areas in your own home: you can create more corners with plants that will grow at ease because they get the sun’s rays and you too because plants bring a plus of joy, colour, and vitality to your home.
- Improve your mood and physical state: It is scientifically proven that natural light improves our performance and productivity. In fact, historically, sunrise was our manual alarm clock. Our working days were marked by it, and it regulates us, it is our biological clock. It provides, for example, the famous vitamin D, which strengthens our bones. Experts confirm that the sun improves low or depressive moods by increasing our serotonin and endorphin levels, contributing to the well-being and reducing the feeling of irritability. It also strengthens our immune system, our cardiovascular health, and our rest and some even dare to say that it helps us lose weight.
- It helps to define, structure, and distribute the space better: as there are fewer dark or shaded areas, we can take more and better advantage of any space and every corner. This automatically allows us to better distribute each room in our home. Believe it or not, brightness brings order, balance, and proportion. Luminous houses are more comfortable and more cheerful and invite you to spend hours and hours.
- Avoid damp areas: a sunny house is a house where there will be no damp spaces. This also avoids the proliferation of unwanted bacteria and fungi, so the spaces will automatically be cleaner and sanitized. We could say that the sun is a natural disinfectant.
