The word "vitamin" automatically notifies you that something that is important for your body is about to be talked about! But vitamin D is one of the most important of all these vitamins, and it is one you must always make sure you get enough of, as its health benefits range as far as bone health, health in your immune system, and even the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
And while there are foods that can get vitamin D into your system, the best way to get vitamin D is by spending time in the sun, as this enables your body to produce vitamin D on its own. But even though we might come to realize how important vitamin D is, and even though most of us enjoy getting out in the sun, it is still sometimes difficult to find a way to get into the sun each day.
One of the big reasons people are unable to get the twenty minutes of sun they should aim to get each day is because of work. With work, most people only have the weekends remaining in order to get vitamin D, and this is not enough time!
When you get home from work in the evening, consider taking a nice walk through your neighborhood; in the summer, the sun is usually up late enough that you can get some sun on your body by doing this. You can also get out in the sun by going for a jog in the evening when you get home from work.
You can also go for a walk during the day, while you are at work; you can take this walk during lunch, or even during a short break from work - which can actually even be good for work! By taking short "walk breaks" during the day, you can collect your thoughts while also getting vitamin D into your body!
Perhaps the most relaxing way of all to get vitamin D from the sun is to eat your lunch outside. If you pack a lunch (which is the healthiest option anyway!), you can have plenty of time each day to find a nice, grassy area in which to enjoy your meal.
Your body will be healthier when you get a bit of sun each day; but also, you will feel a whole lot better!
