It\u2019s simple. Ten minutes a day of mid-day sun exposure is sufficient if you\u2019re fair-skinned but if your skin is tanner, bask in the sun\u2019s rays a little longer to get a good amount of vitamin D. Apart from spending time in the sun, you can also get a good dose of vitamin D through particular foods, such as tuna, salmon, and mackerel. Most breakfast cereals, soy beverages, orange juice, and yogurt also have healthy amounts of Vitamin D. Check the nutrition fact panel on the food label to know exactly how much.<\/p>\n<p>While the amount of vitamin D someone needs might vary across demographic factors like age groups, the importance of it is not in question.
