It\u2019s simple really. We get vitamin D from sun exposure. And now, more than ever, the world\u2019s population lives an indoor lifestyle, avoiding the sun daily.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors are beginning to discover that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for many diseases, including heart disease and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, they\u2019re discovering that vitamin D deficiency may make some diseases more severe, like respiratory diseases and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and lupus. And they\u2019re discovering that vitamin D can be an important piece in the treatment of some illnesses and diseases, including multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, asthma and many other diseases!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Low vitamin D is also a factor when it comes to mental health.

The sun\u2019s rays strike the northern hemisphere at a different angle, an angle that isn\u2019t quite as intense as during the summer. In consequence, your body has a harder time making vitamin D in the winter compared to the summer. The further north you live, the more difficult it is to make vitamin D in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>Remember you can always check to see if you\u2019re making vitamin D by looking at your shadow. If it\u2019s longer than you, you aren\u2019t making much vitamin D. And in the winter, your shadow is often longer than you.<\/p>\n<p>Have no fear that you can\u2019t make vitamin D!
