Sunshine walk
A daytime walk in direct sun. People do it for:
- Vitamin D from sunlight
- Mood lift from time outdoors
- Heart health
- Daily movement
Why it works
People do it for sunlight, the main source of vitamin D, plus the mood lift of time outdoors. For most people 10 to 30 minutes of direct sunlight is enough for vitamin D, and past that the risks start to outweigh any added benefit.
