Monday Morning Walk | Getting Some Natural Vitamin D
Our body is designed to get the vitamin D it needs by producing it when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight.
The part of the sun's rays that is important is ultraviolet B or UVB. This is the most natural way to get vitamin D.
You don’t need to tan or to burn your skin in order to get the vitamin D you need. Exposing your skin for a short time will make all the vitamin D your body can produce in one day. In fact, your body can produce 10,000 to 25,000 IU of vitamin D in just a little under the time it takes for your skin to begin to burn. You make the most vitamin D when you expose a large area of your skin, such as your back, rather than a small area such as your face or arms.
The amount of vitamin D you get from exposing your bare skin to the sun depends on:
The time of day – your skin produces more vitamin D if you expose it during the middle of the day.
Where you live – the closer to the equator you live, the easier it is for you to produce vitamin D from sunlight all year round.
The color of your skin – pale skins make vitamin D more quickly than darker skins.
The amount of skin you expose – the more skin your expose the more vitamin D your body will produce.

Your photos inspire me into exercising. I've recently had my blood test. I'm short of vitamin D3 and high on cholesterol. Got to have supplements injected.

Nothing wrong specifically. Probably the stress from work got me in a bad condition.

Sorry to know that. Stress is not healthy. Just take it easy. 😉

STOPTo support your work, I also upvoted your post!
It is proved most people have a high lack of it and just a short time is not sufficient.
Also people with a coloured or darker skin need way more (at least 4 times more) sunlight (or vitamin D3) as people with a white skin (like you already said). Just a walk won't do the 'trick'.
A lack of vitamine D causes depressions!
If you use a sun blocker on the skin it is nearly impossible to get vitamin D in your body at all.
