A recent new study has revealed a new secret to live longer. Just we need to expose ourselves to sunlight daily moderately. It has been observed that Vitamin D is produced in the body when it is exposed to sunlight, and this cuts the mortality rate down. The Sin Austria team from the Graz University researched that the vitamin from the sunlight helps the calcium for the growth of bones to be absorbed in our bodies. Other sources of Vitamin D are milk and salmon fish. Deficiency of Vitamin D causes osteoporosis in adults and rickets in children. Doctors believe that we should have 20 to 30 nanograms per milliliter of the vitamin in our blood. The risk of early death is doubled for people with 5 to 10 nanograms.

I generally tend to stay away from the sun, but I know its not that good all the time, well now I have a reason that I should go out in the sun, after all it will only benefit me!

That is a very informative post. I think all of the vitamins could be a secret for a longer life. I am fond of eating vegetables and fruits. Could you state some examples of these that have vitamin D?

Just checked google and it seems Mushrooms, spinach, corn and potatoes
are the only ones that provide vitamin D.

Please remember that although this gives an indication of foods to eat to increase (or decrease) Vitamin D in your diet, you should also consider portion sizes. For example chives have a high amount of vitamin C in 100 grams but a portion size may only be a tablespoon or 0.2 g.

Thank you for that post, farce. I was about to ask the other source of vit D. By the way, reena said that, vit. D is also present in milk. How many glasses of this is needed in our body to complete 10-20 nanograms?

great! i like to sunbathe for just 5 to 10 minutes every morning..for me its just a gut feeling so that i will not look so pale..well its the first time i had heard this one here and well my effort was not in vain

That is sooo good to know. Thank you! Good thing is, since I moved to Reno (from Washington, so it's going to take me a bit to get used to the heat) I have been exposing myself to a LOT of sun. I notice that I feel more awake and just more energized and like I can get more done. When I was in Washington, I would sit in my house pretty much all day and I was just always tired. Now I know why.

OMG!! I got the WORST sunburn I've EVER had yesterday on my chest, back, shoulders and face. I gotta get some sunblock!!!!

Gosh! You might have overstayed, you should stay in the sun for a moderate time only. And yeah sunblock really helps against skin sunburn

I definitely learned from that! I make sure to have sunblock with me at all times. It's tough though, because I want to get darker. Do you have any tips? I burn really easy. I have very, very light white skin

Well, i don't like to recommend something i haven't tried myself or seen someone tried the product because it might harm you. Maybe you can ask someone who already tried a tanning lotion or those tanning beds or lights promoted online.

You can also ask an expert if tanning is really for you because i just thought that your skin is type I or II

Vitamin D is very beneficial for healthy life. It protects from many diseases. Its is a great source to reduce tension and stress. Vitamin D promotes good and healthy skin and Improves immune system. It also regulate blood pressure.
