Vitamin D plays a highly essential role in our bodies. First, we need it for our bones, muscles, nerves, and immune system. Vitamin D plays an important role in the formation of strong bones, helping prevent osteoporosis. Also, it may help prevent some cancers, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders, type 2 diabetes, and psychological disorders. VITAMIN D DEFICIENTY Vitamin D deficiency is now a global public health problem affecting about 1 billion people worldwide and means that you do not have enough vitamin D in your body. Our lifestyle plays an important role in the development of this global problem. In the last decades, we have had a shift in spending less time outdoors. For some people, it is because of increased work hours and busy life; for other people, it is because of addiction to a sedentary life, unconsciously accepting that your health is slowly deteriorating, and you have less and less energy to get up from the couch. As a result, at a certain moment in your life, vitamin D levels begin to drop, leading to various health problems without you realizing it. NATURAL VITAMIN D SOURCES Vitamin D is unique because our skin produces it by using sunlight; our bodies make vitamin D from cholesterol when our skin is exposed to sunlight. The minimum sun exposure per day to get the benefits is about 10-15 minutes. The sun as a source of vitamin D is by far the most important. About 80% of vitamin D content in our bodies is meant to come from the exposure of our skin to the sun, with the remaining 20% provided by our diet. And you don’t have to pay for the sun because it is available for everyone for free! Vitamin D is also found in certain foods such as fatty fish, butter, eggs, and mushrooms. Though it’s quite hard to get enough from diet alone, that’s why going outside every day is very important. So no wonder that vitamin D is called a “sunshine” vitamin. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkEZxOgBhn/?igshid=1d9kw0zqh5i4b
