3 Ways to Get Vitamin D Without Risking Excessive Sun Exposure | Stay Sun Safe | Dr. Hansaji

Vitamin D is an important nutrient that plays several vital roles in the body. It is essential for maintaining bone health, regulating immune function, improving mood, preventing certain types of cancer, promoting cardiovascular health, and supporting muscle function. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to various health problems, making it important to ensure adequate intake through diet or supplementation

While sunlight is an important source of vitamin D, too much exposure to the sun can have several drawbacks, including:

Drawbacks of too much exposure to the sun

· Skin Damage: Prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

·Eye Damage: Overexposure to the sun can also damage the eyes, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye problems.

It’s important to practice safe sun exposure by wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen, and avoiding the sun during peak hours of the day.

3 key ways to get Vitamin D safely without excessive sun exposure

· Food – Eating food rich in Vitamin D like Mushrooms, milk and milk products, soy products and oranges.

· Natural Sunscreen – Using a natural homemade sunscreen whenever we go out too much in the sun and also protects you from harmful chemicals

· Safe sun exposure –

o Choose the right time of day for sun exposure. Early morning or late afternoon are best when the rays are not very intense
o Start with lesser time in the sun and gradually increase the time to avoid excessive sun exposure
o Expose large areas of skin: to ensure there is maximum absorption of Vitamin D

It's important to understand that our body isn't as fragile as we think. From an ancient perspective, men were out a lot in the sun for hunting and protecting their families, mostly paired with lifting heavy objects, running, or swimming across rivers.

Our body is meant to be a killing machine, with features that allow us to adapt to stressors and create muscle mass, strength and body density along with it.

30 minutes of sunlight a day without thinking too much bout it is a no fuss solution.
