Should I be worried about vitamin D deficiency if I avoid sun exposure?Updated 4 months ago

Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and a strong immune system. While sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D, overexposure to UV rays increases your risk of skin damage and cancer. You can balance sun safety and vitamin D production by spending 5–15 minutes in the sun a few times a week, eating vitamin D-rich foods, or taking supplements as needed. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the best approach for your health.
