Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin for regulating calcium and phosphorus absorption, which are essential for strong bones. It also plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Your body naturally produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. However, individuals who spend most of their time indoors, such as office workers, factory workers, or those on night shifts, are at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include:

• Fatigue, aches, and pains
• Severe muscle or bone pain and weakness
• Stress fractures, particularly in the legs, pelvis, and hips

Getting Vitamin D from The Sun
For adequate vitamin D, it is recommended to expose your arms and legs to sunlight between 10 am and 3 pm for about 5 to 30 minutes, twice a week. However, while sun exposure promotes vitamin D production, it also exposes your skin to harmful UV rays. Using sun protection to block these rays may also reduce your body's ability to produce vitamin D.

In addition to sunlight, vitamin D can be found in foods like eggs, liver, and oily fish. Fortified products such as milk, soy milk, yogurt, orange juice, breakfast cereals, and margarine are also good sources. To increase vitamin D levels, you can spend more time outdoors, include these foods in your diet, or take supplements.
