We get a little vitamin D from food, but we get most of it from sunlight. The sun acts on chemicals under the skin and helps turn them into vitamin D. In winter in the UK we don’t get enough of the right type of sunlight to make enough vitamin D. We don’t need vitamin D from food or sunlight every day BUT if you don’t get enough over a longer period of time, you won’t have enough vitamin D for good health – known as vitamin D deficiency. This is very common in the UK – around one in five adults and one in six children does not have enough vitamin D: https://www.heartuk.org.uk/low-cholesterol-foods/vitamin-d
