Thank you for posting this wonderful health post. I noticed since I reached my 50's reading of anything about health is what attracts me most even in writing sites.
Can you please tell how many hours or minutes of exposure to the sunlight each day is needed so we can get enough of vitamin D?
I am taking up calcium supplement and it has Vitamin D, magnezium and zinc.
Though I know that exposure to sunlight each day can very much help us get the needed vitamin D. The question is how many minutes a day.
