JAKARTA - Vitamin D can be easily obtained by sunbathing in the morning sun for 10 to 30 minutes a day. However, this becomes difficult to do, given the weather conditions that are often cloudy and even rainy, so that there is minimal exposure to sunlight.

To overcome this, there are three easy ways to increase vitamin D levels in the body as broadcast by Sciencedaily on Wednesday, October 19.

Consumption of more fish, eggs and fungi Some types of marine boga such as salmon, tilapia, sardin fish, tuna, halibut, shrimp to rich shells of vitamin D content that if consumed can help increase the intake of your daily vitamin D.

In addition to marine oil cod, eggs and beef can also be another option to meet the needs of vitamin D. If you are vegetarian, mold can be a choice of food that can be consumed to meet your vitamin D needs.

A number of processed food ingredients that have been confirmed by vitamin D can also be an option. Call it milk,LAye, fruit juice and yogurt. But one thing to pay attention to, considering vitamin D is soluble in fat, try to eat foods enriched with healthy fat.

Use ultraviolet light Quoted from ANTARA, the Sun emits a type of light known as UVB synthesized by your skin (through a compound called 7-DHC) to start producing vitamin D in the body. UVB light works using the same type of light as the sun so you can stay indoors in a warm place and still benefit from a bright summer day.

In fact, some LED lights at certain wavelengths have proven to be more efficient in stimulating the production of vitamin D skin than the sun. However, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting a UV beam therapy routine due to certain factors, such as melanin skin and age which may affect absorption and production rates.

The nutritional supplement of humans and animals produces vitamin D3, while plants such as fungi produce vitamin D2. However, a number of studies have stated that vitamin D2 does not have an effect on the body.

Now several manufacturers are starting to produce vegan-friendly vitamin D3. This vitamin D supplement comes in a variety of convenient choices, including powders, capsules, drops, rubber candy, softgels, vegetables, and sprays.
