Hello Interloper!

Vitamin D helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphate from our diet to help build and maintain healthy bones, teeth and muscles.
Between October and March in the UK, it is difficult to get the daily required amount of Vitamin D from the sun alone, meaning that we have to rely on our diets (or foreign holidays) to provide us with sufficient Vitamin D.
Eggs, red meat and oily fish are all great sources of this essential vitamin.
During the Spring and Summer months in the UK, it is possible to get all of the Vitamin D we need from the sun, just by exposing certain parts of the body – like the face and forearms – to the sun, in short bursts throughout the day.
