Now Doctors Are Prescribing Walks In The Park To Get Us Off Our Butts\ Fast Company
Follow-up interviews show an average increase of 22 minutes of activity per week
Unfortunately, 22 minutes of noon-sunshine only works out to about 500 IU when walking like a golfer (short sleeves) and no sunscreen
Even optomistically assuming that half of the walking were in bright sun, ParkRX would result in only
35 IU/day
However, getting out and moving in the fresh air is great!
