Getting Enough Sun Can Improve Cholesterol

Vitamin D and cholesterol are produced from the same precursor in the body, and their levels are influenced by sunlight exposure. Cholesterol tends to rise in the winter and regions with less sun, while vitamin D levels often decrease without adequate sunlight.

Many people, especially those with limited sun exposure or darker skin, are at risk of vitamin D deficiency, which is linked to chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Getting enough sunlight or supplementing with vitamin D may help balance cholesterol levels and reduce disease risk. Since both vitamin D and cholesterol are interconnected, maintaining healthy levels of both should be part of an overall wellness strategy.
