nice...
Thanks Bhumika
diet can never give the amounts of vitamin D we need...the best way to get vitamin D is exposure to sun...15 minutes walk in the early morning is very beneficial for the body overall...
@PSC- Thanks for the great tip though I have already cited sunlight as a source :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about vitamin D. We should always understand its importance for our health.
