In this video, we delve into vitamin D - an essential vitamin for strong bones and overall health. We will explore vitamin D levels, deficiency and the role of sun exposure. Vitamin D is like sunshine for your body. Your skin produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D helps maintain bone health, supports your immune system and keeps your muscles working well. Low vitamin D levels can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness and bone pain. Factors such as skin tone and where you live affect how much vitamin D you produce from the sun. Remember, a balance of sun exposure, dietary sources and supplements can keep your vitamin D level in check. Let the sunshine in!
