Why this matters

Why bother?

Natural light in the morning sets your circadian rhythm — better sleep that night. Walking in nature lowers cortisol more than indoor exercise. Free and proven.

How often

Daily if you can; 5x week is still a win.

Best time: Morning sunlight (within 1 hour of waking) is the single most underrated health intervention. 10 minutes is enough.

Pro tip

Combine with the dog walk, the commute, or a phone call. Multitasking that actually works.

Common mistake

Waiting for perfect weather — jacket exists.

What happens if you skip

Vitamin D deficiency, disrupted sleep, worse mood — especially in winter.
