Teeth and sun, the importance of vitamin D

The sun has an important effect on the health of our organism and brings many benefits on a psycho-physical level.
As well as counteracting anxiety and depression, the sun helps stimulate the production of vitamin D: an essential element for the development and growth of bones and, of course, teeth.
Numerous studies have shown that abnormalities in tooth structure reveal different episodes of vitamin D deficiency in an individual's life.
The strength of teeth and bones depend on their mineralisation; vitamin D regulates calcium absorption, its levels in the blood and the mineralisation of teeth and bones themselves.
Exposing ourselves to sunlight can also help our oral health! A good dose of sunshine can also be supported by a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, allies of healthy oral health.
Among the foods we prefer to consume during the high summer temperatures are some that are very useful for preserving teeth (and tan).
Among seasonal fruits, we can put strawberries on our shopping list: containing malic acid, they act as a natural astringent to remove the stained surface of teeth.
Let's not forget yellow peaches: thanks to their calcium and potassium they are a valuable ally for strengthening teeth and bones.
Celery and carrots contribute.
