How much sunlight is good for you?

Sunlight is nature's tonic, activating not only vitamin D but also various hormones, including endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, and growth hormone.

So how much sunlight should you get per day?

Adequate daily sunlight exposure

Sun exposure can vary depending on skin color, individual tolerance to sunlight, geographic location, and season.

However, in general, we recommend the following guidelines:

Sun Exposure Guidelines

 

Early morning sunlight (6am-9am)

For 10 to 20 minutes When you look at the sunrise It can effectively control circadian rhythm .

 

Morning sunlight (9:00-12:00)

We recommend short sunbathing sessions of about 5 minutes at first. As you become accustomed to the sunlight, you can gradually increase the duration to up to 30 minutes .

Morning sunlight is especially important for the body, and building up tolerance early in the morning allows you to experience sunlight without adverse effects.

  

Afternoon sunlight (12:00-17:00)

This is the time when UV rays are strongest and optimal for synthesizing vitamin D.

However, since there may be side effects if you lack sunlight tolerance, it is important to build up your tolerance by getting enough sunlight exposure in the morning.

 

Late afternoon sunlight (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM)

Watching the sunset for 10 to 20 minutes can help maintain your circadian rhythm and provide waves that help you sleep.

This time zone High infrared wavelengths help with skin regeneration, wound healing, and inflammation reduction .

It is recommended to expose as much body part as possible.

 

The Importance of Sunrise and Sunset

 

Sunrise and sunset are when the sun is farthest from our bodies, so levels of high-energy wavelengths like ultraviolet light and blue light are low.

This time zone This is when the healing infrared wavelengths are at their highest .

Infrared light is a safe light that helps reduce inflammation, heal injuries, overcome insomnia, and regenerate skin, and has few side effects .

Sun Gazing (Sungazing)

 

Looking directly at the sun It is effective in aligning circadian rhythms and promoting the secretion of essential hormones .

The most ideal times are the first hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset.

At first It is recommended to start with 2 minutes a day and gradually increase the time.

If you find it difficult to look directly at the sun, looking up or down to make your gaze less direct is a good alternative.

 

 

Listen to your body

 

Excessive sun exposure can cause adverse effects, so it is important to increase exposure gradually.

If you feel tired, you should rest in the shade.

If we take our time, respect the laws of nature, and spend time with the sunlight, it can be a powerful healing agent.
