Last couple of years we\u2019re learning about vitamin D benefits and its effect on the entire body. So far we know how important it is for muscles and nerves, proper function of thyroid gland, and bones and teeth development in children.<\/p>\n
Vitamin D has several compounds, of which vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) are the most significant ones. Greatest source of vitamin D is the sun<\/strong>, because it\u2019s being produced in the skin when being exposed to sun rays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Please note that long exposure to the sun can be dangerous, so it is necessary to dose the time correctly. This certainly doesn\u2019t mean that it should be completely avoided, because limited time in the sun is actually healthy. In just half an hour, sufficient amount of vitamin D for the entire day is produced.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those who don\u2019t live in the equator or any other warmer region, foods rich in vitamin D can replace daily needs. Choose fish (if you can, sea fish), then butter, boiled eggs, squeezed orange juice, and canned foods such as tuna and sardines can be suitable compensation.<\/p>\n Certainly, the last instance is artificial supplementation<\/strong>, but before any consumption, you need to consult your doctor.<\/p>\n We definitely recommend that you spend as much time in nature as possible, with proper protection. And look for any body of water, because if nothing else, you will rest with the sound of water that relaxes you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last couple of years we\u2019re learning about vitamin D benefits and its effect on the entire body.
