The beauty vitamin we all need.
If there was a vitamin that could be named universally as the beauty vitamin, then for me, vitamin D would be the one. Often called the sunshine vitamin, it’s actually a hormone which is stimulated when sunshine interacts with a type of cholesterol found in your skin.
This magical interaction should store vitamin D for when your body needs it. Great, that all seems simple enough, get a little sunshine and you’re good to go. And yet, we seem to be missing out...

Why diets make us fat.
The promise we rarely keep.
