Do you tend to avoid the sun due to its harmful effects? While overexposure to the sun can lead to such maladies as skin cancer and premature aging, the sun provides vitamin D, which is essential to good health. Often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin" because it's produced in your body in response to your skin's exposure to sunlight, vitamin D also occurs naturally in select varieties of fish, fish oils, egg yolks, and in fortified dairy and grain products. But if you shun the sun, and don't intake dairy products, you may be at risk for a vitamin D deficiency. One of the most important functions of vitamin D is regulating the absorption of calcium and facilitating normal immune function. Promotes growth and development of bones and teeth. We need vitamin D to absorb calcium - without adequate amounts, we are at risk of developing conditions such as soft bones or fragile bones. Supports immunity. Proper levels of vitamin D support T cells, the killer cells of the immune system, enabling them to fight off infections in the body. Reduces inflammation. Vitamin D helps decrease the C-reactive proteins in your body, helping to reduce inflammation. You may not be able to get adequate amounts of vitamin D by the sun alone, due to pollution, use of sunscreen and spending time indoors.
