How much sunlight do you need to survive?

When you walk outside, the outdoors provide you with approximately 10,000 lux of light on a cloudy day, and even 100,000 lux on a good sunny day.

Studies have shown that in order to avoid physical issues like a deficiency of Vitamin D and therefore absorption of calcium and strengthening your bones, and also to avoid mental issues like depression, you need the sun.

The sun helps plants make food. While we are not made of chlorophyll, we are not so different than them.

While prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate sunscreen for a long time can prove to be detrimental, a little sun in the early mornings and late evenings won’t hurt you.

So don’t hide out in your room because you don’t have sunscreen on you. Go out and soak up the sun!
