Beware of D-ficiency

Many factors can influence your ability to obtain enough vitamin D from the sun alone. These elements include:

  • Being in an area with high pollution
  • Using sunscreen
  • Spending more time indoors
  • Living in big cities where buildings block sunlight
  • Having darker skin. (The skin’s ability to absorb vitamin D decreases as melanin levels rise.)

These factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency in an increasing number of people. That’s why it’s important to get some of your vitamin D from sources besides sunlight.
