Is it enough to walk for about 45 - 60 min in the morning for the vitamin d requirements of the body? Should we expose the body (takeout maximum possible cloths) during the morning walk for getting v-d?

Dear Lybrate User, while getting enough vitamin d is important, I would urge you to wear uv-a and uv-b sunscreen atleast 15 minutes before you enter sunlight. Use generous amounts of sunscreen to avoid risk of skin damage etc. Vitamin d can be raised naturally however supplementation of vit d in carefully calculated doses can be helpful. Excess vit d can cause increased calcium levels in blood. Supplementation of vit k is required in carfully selected patients as well. (please donot self medicate) use our recommended sunscreen. I personally use that product and it works well. By law the name of medicines cannot be mentioned on public forums, please get in touch via online consultation. For more information please contact my team.

Expose to morning sunlight for 10-30 mins. Eat mushroom. Eat leafy vegetables. Drink milk. Homoepathic treatment helps to increase vit. D naturally. No side effects.
