Sensible Sunlight
Vitamin D is one of the most underrated vitamins in the world.
Your body makes it, but only when you’re exposed to sunlight.
Vitamin D enhances performance, fights cancer and builds bones.
Older adults who don’t get enough are at increased risk for both poor physical performance and for disability.
It’s possible — but difficult — to get enough vitamin D from food.
We need the sun.
For most Caucasians who are living where there is sunlight, exposing 10 percent of your body a couple times a week is enough to get your vitamin D requirement.
Darker people or people who live in the northern latitudes need more.
Don’t be sun phobic.
Sensible sun could extend your life.
