so I wanted to answer the question how

much Sun do we actually need to get our

vitamin D our daily dosage it really

depends on how much of your body is

exposed to the Sun and where you live

okay so let’s just take San Diego for

example and also your age if you’re

younger you absorb a lot more vitamin D

if you’re older you’re a factor of three

times more so you need three times as

much Sun so if you’re in San Diego and

you’re young and you’re just your hands

and your face are exposed to the Sun you

have to spend 22 minutes in the Sun to

get the vitamin D that you need per day

they already ace and that’s just the

bare bones right we’re not talking about

the stuff to maintain or even try to

reverse some type of illness we’re

talking just to prevent rickets for

example all right so next one you have

the short sleeves and then on your face

and your hands 26% of your body

19 minutes okay so 19 minutes shorts and

t-shirt 46 percent of your body exposed

11 minutes not bad right no shirt in

just shorts 72 percent of your body is

exposed to the Sun 7 minutes boom you

got your dose right but if you’re in

Seattle okay in the north and you’re

young you need a hundred and sixty eight

minutes if just your face and your hands

are exposed if you’re older than Seattle

five hundred and four minutes to get

your daily dosage of vitamin D that’s a

lot of time out in the Sun okay if

you’re in Seattle and you’re younger

short-sleeves in your face and your

hands seventy six minutes okay a little

more than an hour and if you’re older

228 minutes it’s a long time now you’re

in shorts and a t-shirt 44 minutes okay

versus 132 minutes no shirt shorts 28

minutes and then 84 minutes the reason

why I’m showing you this chart is to get

you to think with these variables it’s

not just about the Sun it’s about where

you’re living versus in the world

certain latitudes your age the you know

if your skin is

lighter or darker you’re gonna need more

Sun if you’re of a darker skin the

health of your liver for example is

important so there’s a lot of variables

to this vitamin D and vitamin D is so

important especially as you get older

especially if you’re really young

especially if you’re sick for viruses

for the flu to prevent autoimmune

problems so you may want to consider

taking vitamin D especially nowadays

since people are just inside so so much

they just don’t get enough Sun alright
