Summer Soothers
The sun is indispensable to life on Earth, supporting the growth of plants, regulating climate, and providing energy. For humans, it is a crucial source of vitamin D, vital for overall health and well-being. Without the sun, life as we know it would cease to exist.
The "Sunshine Vitamin": Vitamin D
Vitamin D, often called the "sunshine vitamin," is synthesised by our skin when exposed to sunlight. This essential nutrient is critical for maintaining bone health, supporting the immune system, and regulating mood. Without sufficient vitamin D, we risk developing health issues such as osteoporosis, weakened immunity, and even depression.
Natural Sources of Vitamin D in Summer
During the summer months, the abundance of sunlight provides an excellent opportunity to naturally boost our vitamin D levels.
Sun Exposure: The Natural Way to Boost Vitamin D
Direct sunlight is the most effective way to get vitamin D. Spending about 10 to 30 minutes in the sun several times a week can help maintain adequate vitamin D levels. Factors such as skin type, location and the time of day can affect how much vitamin D your skin produces. Generally, fair-skinned individuals need less time in the sun than those with darker skin.
Safe Sun Practices
Understanding when it is safe to be in the sun without sunscreen and when to avoid it is crucial for maximising vitamin D production while protecting your skin from damage.
Safe Sun Exposure
Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to enjoy the sun without sunscreen for short periods. During these times, the UV index is typically lower, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Avoid Peak Sun Hours
The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and the risk of skin damage is highest. During these hours, it is advisable to seek shade, wear protective clothing, and apply sunscreen to exposed skin.
