Vitamin D plays an important role in keeping the body’s calcium levels in balance: it contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, thus ensuring the appropriate level of calcium in the blood. In this way, it contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones, teeth and muscle functions, and also plays a role in the proper functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin D can also be produced by our body through exposure to sunlight. The body’s level of vitamin D may be low by the end of winter, but we should still try to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D into our system through our diet.
As soon as the sun returns, the sunlight reaching our skin will replenish our body’s supply of vitamin D again. Healthy adults can meet their vitamin-D needs by spending time in the sun.
During periods of little or no sunlight, we should focus more on consuming foods that are rich in vitamin D. If for whatever reason we cannot get enough vitamin D into our bodies through our normal diet, it may be necessary to supplement the amount of vitamin D we consume with our food, depending on our dietary habits and the time we spend in the open air.
