    Akktually the body needs the sun to make it. Like a plant. So your body needs plants and is a plant

      Ah ok ok 👍. That makes sense. But I knew that of course. Just to be sure, though, could you explain it again? Ha ha

        Your body is made of proteins. In the broadest sense, there are structural proteins and proteins that make important things. Some of the proteins that make things (called enzymes) require additional special molecules in order to function properly. These special molecules are called vitamins. Our bodies can make several vitamins but can’t make several other ones. The ones we can’t make has to be eaten, otherwise the enzyme won’t be able to function properly, and depending on what the enzyme does, you’ll either get sick or die or both. Vitamin C has to be eaten. Vitamin D, our bodies can produce. But the process to make it requires sunlight in order to function.

        TL;DR: our bodies have evolved to force you to touch grass
