Improved light nutrition can help you:
Light nutrition is individual
How much light we need, the type we need and at what time of day is what we mean by ‘light nutrition’. It’s individual to you, with a range of factors that determine your needs:
Your chronotype
Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, or somewhere in-between
Your environment
The natural and artificial light you’re exposed to where you spend your time
Your geography
Where in the world you are and its weather patterns
Your seasonality
How sensitive you are to changing seasons
Your demographics
Your gender, age and race

- We’ve become an indoor generation, spending 90% of our time indoors – contributing to an estimated 20% of adults and 16% of children being Vitamin D deficient, which leads to a range of physical and mental health issues.
- Three-quarters of UK adults experience sleep problems.
- Our light nutrition needs can change across the day, week, month and year as well as across our lifetime.
