Ways to overcome Vitamin D deficiency in summers

Fatty Fish: Include fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and tuna in your diet. These are excellent sources of natural vitamin D.

Egg Yolks: While not as rich as fish, egg yolks contain a decent amount of vitamin D.

Fortified Foods: Many foods are fortified with vitamin D, such as milk (especially cow's milk), some plant-based milk alternatives, yogurt, cereals, and orange juice.

Short bursts of sunlight: Aim for 10-15 minutes of midday sunlight on bare arms, legs, or back without sunscreen.

Sun Safety: It's crucial to prioritize sun safety while getting vitamin D from sunlight.

Consult your doctor: If dietary sources and sun exposure aren't sufficient, a doctor might recommend a vitamin D supplement. 

Consider your skin tone: People with darker skin tones naturally produce less vitamin D from sunlight. 

Age: As we age, our ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight decreases. Older adults may need to be more mindful of increasing vitamin D intake.

Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions can affect vitamin D absorption.
