Pregnant women are advised to give their bodies a regular exposure to vitamin-D, through sunlight. According to a recent study conducted at the University of Leuven, lack of vitamin D in the body can increase your chances of succumbing to a number of auto-immune disorders including diabetes and thyroid disease.

It is not just the mothers but also the babies in the womb who should get proper amounts of Vtamin D, which means a greater exposure to sunlight. This becomes all the more pertinent for those living in countries where there are low levels of sunshine.

While exposing yourself to sun, make sure you take appropriate precautions like applying sun blocks and not keeping your skin exposed for long durations.
