The Importance of Sunlight for Health & Well-Being

About this video

Dr. Roger Seheult argues that many people go weeks without even 15 minutes of sunlight, commuting before sunrise, working indoors and returning after dark. He cites an EPA study finding, he says, that Americans spend 93% of their time inside, a relatively recent pattern compounded by late-evening artificial light. Seheult links this to the winter influenza surge and recommends taking your lunch break outside.
