Thank you for the reminder! I have a slight Vitamin D deficiency and I can tell now how important it is for health! Deficiency in this can also lead to hair loss as per my experience!:( Sunlight is the easiest and best way to get some Vitamin D exposure, but in a measured capacity to avoid getting affected by the UV ray. Thanks for the great post!
