Spanish Doctor's Sun Exposure Guide for Optimal Vitamin D

Valencia, Spain – June 2, 2025 – A recent video by Spanish doctor and health influencer Isabel Vina (@isabelvina) offers practical advice on sun exposure for optimal vitamin D levels. Vina, whose podcast "Tus amigas las hormonas" focuses on women's health, explains that about 7 minutes of sun exposure on arms and legs in the summer is sufficient for synthesizing 1000 IU of vitamin D for individuals in the Mediterranean region of Spain. However, she cautions that this is based on a study conducted in Valencia and that factors like liver health and exposure to endocrine disruptors can influence vitamin D production. "I expose myself to the sun, but I don't overdo it," Vina says, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach. Her expertise and clear explanation make her advice valuable for maintaining healthy vitamin D levels while protecting skin from damage.
