LIGHTEN THE LOAD

Sunlight delivers a host of health and fitness benefits all through the day. Here’s how to soak them up

7AM

Draw your curtains. Light signals to your body to stop producing melatonin and spikes cortisol.

8AM

Cycle to work. This extra dose of sun will regulate your body clock and wake up your metabolism.

3PM

Step outside for a break. This afternoon fix of sun will boost your mood and improve your creativity.

10PM

Now relax. The more natural light you’ve been exposed to, the easier you’ll find it to nod off.
