Sunshine vitamin

The "sunshine vitamin" refers to vitamin D, which your body produces when your skin is exposed to sunlight. It plays a key role in helping your body absorb calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D also supports immune function and may influence mood and overall health. You can obtain it through sunlight exposure, certain foods like fatty fish and fortified dairy products, and supplements. Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for maintaining bone strength and overall well-being.
