The Sunshine Vitamin

We are still in the summer months where it is still warm and the sun is shining a lot! Did you know that the major source of vitamin D is exposure to natural sunlight? Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide. Obtaining sufficient vitamin D from food source alone is quite difficult.

About 5 to 30 minutes of exposure to your body, two times a week is enough to get sufficient levels of vitamin D. Too much sunlight exposure is a risk for skin cancer, so use sunscreen after a few minutes of being in the sun.
