What Happens to Your Body If You Don’t Get Enough Sun

When you expose your skin to the sun, your body begins the production of vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin. It plays a very important role in the proper functioning of many organs and tissues of the body. According to a recent study, almost 40% of Americans experience a deficiency in vitamin D. People who avoid being in the sun or don’t get a sufficient amount of it may suffer from different negative consequences.
