VITAMIN D, of which sunlight is the most natural source, tends to be lower in those who are overweight according to a new study.
A deficiency of vitamin D hinders the hormone leptin, which signals to our brain when the stomach is full.
Research at Aberdeen University, which gathered data on more than 3,000 women, found that those with an average BMI of 34 — two points above the BMI measure of clinical obesity — produced 10 per cent less Vitamin D than those of average weight.
What more excuse do we need to get out into the sunshine?
