Vitamin D deficiency: The winter season has arrived and the weather is becoming cold all around. People are sitting crouching in their homes. At this time we also face all kinds of health related problems. Most people, especially those living in hilly areas or smog-covered North India, think that vitamin D deficiency increases only in winter because there is less sunlight. But a hot and sunny country like India is not completely like this. Many states like Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar have a lot of sunshine even in winter. Still, people often ask, “There is sunshine, then why is Vitamin D decreasing?”.
The real reason is not the weather, but our lifestyle. Being locked in the office for hours, going out of the house less, not sitting in the sun, and lack of Vitamin D in the diet. All these together reduce its level in the body. Few people know that the fallen level of Vitamin D also affects the body. Low mood, fatigue, irritability, all these are often the result of this deficiency. Let us tell you what you should include in your diet if you are deficient in Vitamin D.
What can be included in the diet?
In winter, when only 10 percent of the body remains exposed, about two hours of sunlight is required in the afternoon so that sufficient Vitamin D can be produced. Therefore, its deficiency is more visible in the winter season. According to a Harvard study, fish and seafood are helpful in getting vitamin D naturally, but to get 400 IU, you would have to eat about 5 ounces of salmon, 7 ounces of halibut, 30 ounces of cod or two large tins of tuna, which is not possible.
Do supplements help?
Vitamin D supplements can easily compensate for this deficiency in the body, without standing in the sun for hours or eating large amounts of seafood. Nowadays Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol is available in such oral solutions, which are easy to swallow and with the help of nano technology, they are also quickly absorbed in the body. They are also sugar-free, so even people with diabetes can take them safely. These supplements are clinically tested and provide the right amount of Vitamin D to the body. Especially for those people who are not able to get sufficient amount from sunlight or diet.
