Think about your health, buy a convertible!

Vitamin D important!

We need Vitamin D to stay healthy because it provides strong bones and teeth. The vitamin is also important for your resistance. You get vitamin D through your diet, such as by eating fatty fish, egg or margarine. Your body also makes its own vitamin D with the help of sunlight. But sometimes you just don’t get enough vitamin D. A convertible offers the solution. Roof open and fully enjoy the sun.

Protect well

According to KWF, it is enough for most fair-skinned people to spend 15 to 30 minutes each day with hands and face unprotected in the sun. Your body then makes enough vitamin D. “It’s not that the more sunlight your skin gets, the more vitamin D you make. After all, your skin does not endlessly produce vitamin D. Therefore, protect yourself after unprotected minutes. Because the sun is also a major cause of skin cancer,” KWF emphasizes.

Throw that roof open!

The big advantage with a convertible is that you can enjoy driving in the open air. You open the roof and can enjoy plenty of winter sunshine, or the spring, fall or summer sun. Much more sunlight also enters the interior, giving your skin a chance to make extra vitamin D. But again, always use your wits, especially in the summer. Protect yourself well with sunscreen, because a few minutes in the sun is nice, but too long in the sun can be harmful to the skin.

Supply of cheap convertibles

Convertible driving expensive? That’s not so bad! For less than 3,000 euros, you already have a Saab 900 Cabrio, Volkswagen Golf Cabrio or Peugeot 206 CC. For 4,000 euros, you get the keys to an Opel Tigra TwinTop. Bring on that vitamin D!
