Easy Vitamin D

Make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D. Sit in the sun for a few minutes. The sun will boost your mood and get you motivated to keep your goals.

Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin; it is something we get through sunlight rather than from food. Actually, some foods do contain Vitamin D but it is nowhere near enough to replace what we get from the sun. The recommended daily allowance is about 600IU, whereas we can produce more than 10.000IU in about 30 minutes of full sun exposure, which is over 15 times more than the government recommends for us to take.
