Outside In Workout
Allergies, sickness, weather and safety can sometimes keep us indoors. Regular sun exposure is the most natural way to get enough vitamin D to help us feel well. To maintain healthy blood levels, aim to get 10–30 minutes of midday sunlight, several times per week. People with darker skin may need a little more than this.
Vitamin D is also critical for your immune system, and with consistent exposure to sunlight, you can help strengthen your immune system. A healthy immune system can help reduce the risk of illness, infections and chronic disease.
