Winter and Vitamin D
An article suggests that Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, is critical to your good health.
Yet the shorter winter days and colder weather makes it tougher to get this vital nutrient.
Vitamin D is a hormone and is made by the body in response to exposure to sunlight.
A lack of Vitamin D can cause a host of health problems.
