Are You Deficient of this Important Immune Nutrient
The time has come again for inevitable shift to come up upon us. As summer draws to a close, so does the time you spend in the sun. This is particularly true for women in northern locations where the days are quite short and the sun doesn’t shine much in the winter. A lack of sun isn’t about just not being able to eat lunch or walk around outside, it can also significantly affect your health. That’s because moderate, careful sun exposure is the best way to naturally get a very important nutrient, vitamin D.
All About Vitamin D
Your body synthesizes vitamin D from sunlight. The sun is your most significant natural source of this fat-soluble nutrient, although it is present in small amounts in certain foods. The highest vegetable source of vitamin D available is shiitake mushrooms.
Vitamin D plays many critical roles in your body
- Promotes calcium absorption and maintains serum calcium levels.
- Prevents osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children.
