Vitamin D & Summer Sun
Soaking up a little sunshine can do more than boost your mood—it helps your body produce Vitamin D, which may play a role in supporting insulin sensitivity.
Aim for 10–15 minutes of sun exposure on your skin a few times a week. And don’t forget to fuel up with Vitamin D–rich foods like eggs, fortified milk or almond milk, and salmon to help keep your levels in check. |
