Allowing your body to produce vitamin D in response to sunlight is a great and easy action to take when done correctly. It is important to wear sunscreen under direct sunlight to prevent types of skin damage or cancer. Having a deficiency in vitamin D can result in muscle weakness and a compromised immune system that could lead to sickness and a prolonged recovery. If you are worried about easily burning your skin or susceptible to skin cancer, taking a vitamin D supplement can be just as effective. Vitamin D plays a role in the proper communication between all systems of the body in order for you to fight off sickness. Nerves need vitamin D to communicate with the brain as well as each body part. Communication throughout our body is a daily, necessary function of the nervous system that vitamin D can help provide. Muscle mobility and growth also depend on this vitamin and how much is being produced. When the immune system has a sufficient amount of vitamin D, it can have better resistance to pathogens trying to invade.
