Roll up your sleeves and enjoy 5 to 15 minutes of sunshine each day.  The body needs this exposure in order to manufacture Vitamin D (skin cells derive it from sunshine). Vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium from the intestine and the utilization of calcium and phosphorus in the body, so sunshine indirectly contributes to maintaining strong and healthy bones.  Keep other body parts covered with sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) or clothing, and limit the unprotected exposure to 15 minutes.
