Vitamin-D is very important for our body. It strengthens bones, improves the immune system and proves helpful in preventing many serious diseases. However, it is often advised to take sunlight daily to overcome Vitamin D deficiency. But just taking sunlight is not enough. Many times people suffer from deficiency of this vitamin despite exposure to sunlight. Let us know, what are those 4 important things, keeping in mind which proves helpful in removing Vitamin-D deficiency.
1. Right time and duration of exposure to sunlight
The sun’s rays between 10 am and 3 pm are most suitable for producing Vitamin D. About 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight daily is sufficient for the body. Staying in the sun for too long can also cause harm, so it is important to take care of the right time and duration.
2. Exposing the right place and more part of the body to the sun
While sunbathing, as many parts of the body as possible (like hands, feet, face) should be exposed to the sun’s rays. If only the face or hands are exposed to sunlight, the production of Vitamin D is limited. Therefore, try to expose at least 30% to 40% of your body to sunlight.
3. Include Vitamin-D rich foods in a balanced diet
Vitamin D is produced from sunlight, but it is also necessary to get it through diet. Milk, curd, cheese, egg yolk, fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are rich in Vitamin D. These things should be included in the regular diet.
4. Take care of physical and health conditions
Some health problems and medications can affect vitamin D absorption. Obesity, kidney or liver disease, digestive system problems can cause Vitamin D deficiency. In such a situation, it is important to consult a doctor and get proper examination done.
Expert advice
Doctors and nutritionists emphasize that Vitamin D deficiency can be overcome not only by taking sunlight but by adopting an overall healthy lifestyle. For this, it is necessary to take sunlight at the right time, eat nutritious food, exercise regularly and take doctor’s advice.
