The body can produce vitamin D in the skin with the help of sunlight. Therefore, it is often called the „sunshine vitamin“. Unfortunately, reduced sunlight hours in the winter, lack of outdoor time and use of sunscreen can easily lead to a vitamin D deficiency. Ideal vitamin D level • Promotes bone health and prevents osteoporosis or rickets • Protects against infections, for example cold Vitamin D deficiency and its relation to cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer and diabetes are also discussed in medical science. Tips for an ideal level of vitamin D • Frequent outdoor activities (15-20 minutes of sun with more than 40% of skin exposure is optimal) • Eating vitamin D rich foods: fish (salmon, herring), liver, cheese, mushrooms and avocados • Adding vitamin supplements to diet (if necessary or recommended)
