On the weekend, while I enjoyed the lovely sunshine I was also working on my Vitamin D levels. A mid winter blood test revealed that I was very, very low in this precious vitamin. Vitamin D has been shown to help: - Absorb calcium - Build strong bones and teeth - Improve immune function - Promote cardiovascular health and weight loss, in more recent studies. While supplements and food can help, I personally think that a bit of sunshine is the best option - all in moderation of course!

A good rule of thumb is to spend time outdoors when your shadow is longer than your height. Just 10 minutes exposure to the sun each day will help, 20 minutes is even better, but remember moderate sun exposure is best.
