So, as I say, early daylight, great for circadian rhythm.

But at 6 a.m., the UVB that we need to make vitamin D is unlikely to be.
podcast-host
Be there, even in a very sunny country.
podcast-host
So what happens is first thing in the morning, and I I write about this a lot in How to Age.

If you want more information, it was a key tenant of my last book, is that you have near infrared and red light that's coming up first thing, and then as the sun rises, the first UV spectrum to appear is UVA, which is important because that's signalling nitric oxide, which is our kind of alertness molecule.
podcast-host
Molecule.

And then later in the morning we get UVB.
podcast-host
And that's what's making vitamin D.
podcast-host
Now, unfortunately, the bad news for those of us listening in the UK is that UVB disappears around October time.
podcast-host
So that's why you know vitamin D3 supplements are even more important in the winter months.
podcast-host
Hopefully, we banked some vitamin D by having lots of skin exposure in the
podcast-host
sunshine during the summer months and that's will hopefully keep us going through some of the winter time.
podcast-host
But don't think that even if the sun is shining here in the UK, that we can go out and get vitamin D because we can't, because there isn't any UVB.
podcast-host
So it comes back around March, March time.
podcast-host
So how much sunlight then is enough if if we are receiving UVB?
podcast-host
And obviously for anybody listening in a different
podcast-host
different country or who's heading off on holiday perhaps to somewhere sunnier, then maybe fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes of sensible midday exposure on uncovered skin without burning.
podcast-host
That's a kind of good practical guide if you've got a temperate climate.
podcast-host
But you know, I can't transfer that directly to Saudi Arabia because the UV index can be extremely high and your skin can burn far more quickly.
podcast-host
It also depends on your skin type, your Fitzpatrick skin type.
