2.   When you are having a craving for something sweet, opt for a serving of fruit to satisfy your craving.

Vitamin D- and 4 Reasons Why You Need It

Vitamin D- and 4 Reasons Why You Need It

VITAMIN D- AND 4 REASONS WHY YOU NEED IT

Vitamin D- also known as the Sunshine Vitamin is important for health. At this time of year, our days get shorter, and many of us spend more time inside, we are not getting enough of that sunshine vitamin on our skin. 

Without sun, there would be no life on this planet... including us.  Vitamin D is manufactured in your skin when in contact with ultraviolet light (UVB) from the suns rays. Then, your body transfers the vitamin via your bloodstream to the liver and kidneys to be used or stored. It can be stored in the liver, skin, brain, spleen and bones.

So, why do we need it? 

  1. Remember all vitamins and minerals work together. Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium which helps maintain healthy bones and teeth. This absorption of calcium happens in your intestines, and without enough Vitamin D to do the job, it can lead to problems such as rickets in children and osteoporosis in older adults.
