Vitamin D is obtained from lukewarm morning sunlight? Nutritionist broke years old misconception, know what is the truth:

News India Live, Digital Desk: We have been hearing since childhood that the body gets plenty of Vitamin D by sitting in sunlight early in the morning. But do you know that this is not completely true? Recently, nutritionists have termed this notion a ‘myth’. If you also consider your bones strong on the basis of light morning sunlight, then this news may be shocking for you.

Why is there not enough morning sunlight?

According to nutritionists, sunlight is required for the synthesis of Vitamin D. UVB rays Is required.

Game of Time: In the early morning sunlight (at the time of sunrise), UVB rays are very less and UVA rays are more, which can be harmful for the skin but do not help in making Vitamin-D.

Real Time: Experts believe that the most effective time for Vitamin D is in the morning. 11 am to 2 pm It’s mid-afternoon, when the sun is directly overhead and UVB rays are at their peak.

Only 15 minutes are necessary

To increase bone strength and immunity, you do not need to burn in the sun for hours.

Short Duration: Just sitting in the afternoon sun for 10 to 15 minutes is more beneficial than 1 hour of morning sun exposure.

Caution: There is a risk of sunburn if you stay in the strong afternoon sun for too long, so take sunlight in short breaks.
