The reason more and more people are deficient in Vitamin D is due to the air conditioner and heating systems we have in our homes. As we want to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter we tend to stay indoors. Vitamin D is a vitamin that is produced in the body with the natural occurrence of the sun. Want more Vit-D go outside more often, you don’t have to be a pro athlete to take in the rays. Don a pair of cool shades grab an ice cold lemonade and sit in the sun! A healthy dose of sun can do wonders for the body. And by the way, a healthy dose of sun does not give one skin cancer. Depending on how much Vit-D you need is how much time you should spend in the sun per day. Summer fun is for a reason and the sun is the reason for the season. Just like our kids need 60 minutes of play outside, adults need just about the same amount of time in the sun everyday or maybe a little more.
When I sit in the sun, I get skin cancer.
