> Really everyone should, unless they're a light-skinned sun-worshipper living in the Sun Belt.
I hesitate to take any medical advice from the internet, but from what I can tell searching around a bit, the general consensus is that somewhere between 10 to 30 minutes of direct sunlight a day is more than sufficient (depending on how high the sun gets in the sky at your latitude and time of year..)
Hanging out on my porch for an hour a day seems to have me covered, despite living near Canada.
- fock 6y agobut what puzzles me about that direct sunlight recommendation: is it full-body (which is kinda impractical for most), shorts or trousers, how does it scale? Basically, 10-30 minutes just equates to what you should do anyway: go out and practice humanities special skills a little.
- catalogia 6y agoThe guidance I've read seems to assume a t-shirt, maybe shorts. Bare face and neck. I'm not sure it's so critical though; I've been sunburnt through a tshirt before.
