Sunlight Is Not the Enemy — You Probably Need More of It

We got so good at avoiding the sun that many people are now chronically low on vitamin D without knowing it. Fatigue, low mood, weak immunity, and poor sleep can all trace back to not enough daylight. You do not need to sunbathe for hours — ten to fifteen minutes of morning sun on your face and arms, most days, is enough to keep your levels healthy.

Morning sunlight also resets your circadian rhythm, which means better sleep at night and more energy during the day. Step outside within the first hour of waking, even on cloudy days. The light still reaches you. It is a free, daily dose of something your body genuinely needs.
