Soak Up Vitamin D

With summer approaching, we’re hanging outdoors more and enjoying those sunny days. According to msnbc.com, vitamin D – the vitamin found in sunshine – helps your bones and also protects you from cancer, artery disease and tuberculosis.

This super vitamin is also a great way to beat stress from all of the crazy stuff going on in your life. It was found it helped older people stay in shape mentally! So stock up now.

Before you start running outside in your teeny bikinis without sunscreen, remember you can get vitamin D from other sources, like oily fish and milk. So slather on the sunscreen and head outside!
