“This is very important for your body. Your body has its own factory to make vitamin D and it is the largest organ in the body, your skin. The body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin,” says Dr Chris Steele.
According to the NHS, most of the vitamin D can be obtained from sun exposure. “It’s very important that you bask for about 15 minutes in direct sunlight 3-4 times a week – that’s all you need to boost your vitamin D levels,” explains Dr Chris.
