While there are foods that contain vitamin D naturally, the sun is the most important natural source for the body to make this fat-soluble vitamin. Therefore, to avoid overweight associated with deficits in the vitamin is important to know that the sun helps us to lose weight. However, remember to expose to the sun but taking precautions to avoid the adverse effects of the same. Bear in mind the time and adequate sun protection according to skin type, even in autumn and winter.
It is important to have in mind that there are special analytical indicating the concentration of vitamin D in the blood, so if we make all our efforts and we can not lose weight, we need to concern doctor to investigate this possible cause, take the necessary and establish the best treatment.
