Let's take advantage of the summer to fill ourselves with Vitamin D

Vitamin D contributes to bone health by enhancing the body's absorption of calcium from food and supplements and by regulating the movement of calcium in and out of the bones. Vitamin D also plays a role in cell growth, muscle, and immune function, and supports normal inflammatory processes in the body.

Vitamin D is one of the few vitamins that your body can produce. Production begins on the skin and is triggered by strong UVB rays in the summer sun. In theory, you can make all the vitamin D you need for the year (your body stores it for future use) to maintain normal blood levels.

However, experts disagree on the amount of summer sun exposure needed to produce adequate vitamin D , but estimates range from five to 30 minutes between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at least twice a week. .

Some people meet at least some of their vitamin D needs with sun exposure, which contributes to adequate levels of vitamin D in the blood, but many people do not. Several factors affect the level of vitamin D in the blood. You may not have the vitamin D your body needs if:

You take little sun or if you do, you use a sun protection factor (SPF) of 8 or more, which blocks the rays that favor production.
You don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D from food, dietary supplements, or a combination of both.
You are a very dark person. Darker skin contains melanin, a compound that blocks the production of vitamin D in response to UVB rays.
You are overweight or obese.
You are of the third age. As time passes, the ability to produce vitamin D decreases.
