We all know the sun is the ultimate source of Vitamin D, but stepping outside at the wrong time with scorching summer heat can do more harm than good. So, when's the right time to soak up the sun without burning the skin and getting maximum vitamin D? 

To maximize Vitamin D from the sun during summer in India, aim for exposure between 8 AM and 10 AM. During this timeframe, UVB rays are sufficient without risking sunburn or heatstroke. Limiting sun exposure to 15-30 minutes for lighter skin and 30-45 minutes for darker skin is advisable. Avoid peak sun times from 11 AM to 2 PM.
