The best time to soak yourself in the sun to get the maximum vitamin D is between 10 am to 3 pm.It is also said that the body is more efficient in making vitamin D at this time.But, too much exposure to sunlight also has its own set of health risks. In addition to this, there are only a handful of foods that have a significant amount of vitamin D. The list includes cod liver oil, swordfish, salmon, canned tuna, beef liver, egg yolks and sardines. To get enough vitamin D, one needs to eat some of these foods daily. If your diet does not provide you with enough vitamin D, it is recommended to take vitamin D supplements and get some sun to maintain the optimal levels in the body.

Hey The best time for Vitamin D in india is between 10am to 3pm. 1/3rd of your body should be completely exposed like whole arms, neck or face or 3/4 legs neck and face for 20 minutes 3-4 times a week under direct sunlight. Evening sunlight does not provide any vitamin D. You may consider fortified foods and supplementation. Hope this helps. Regards Namrata.M.A
