Maintaining optimal levels of vitamin D is essential for the health of our muscles and bones.
Sun exposure plays a significant role in our body’s production of vitamin D, with the sun’s rays acting on our skin.
The required amount of sun exposure may vary depending on factors such as skin type, weather conditions, and time of day.
Striking the right balance is key, as excessive sun exposure can lead to skin damage.
To ensure adequate vitamin D levels, a moderate amount of sun exposure, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes per day, is generally sufficient.
It’s important to be mindful of sun safety and find the right balance in obtaining the benefits of sunlight while protecting our skin.
