vitamin d3

People living in cities are not exposing themselves to sunlight, as a result, many lack vitamin D3. First, let me be clear. Vitamin D3 is the vitamin that is produced in our body while we are exposed to sunlight. The cholesterol in our body gets itself converted onto vitamin D3.

Being deficient in this vitamin will get you some mild effects with a high cost in long term. Our modern lifestyle does not allow us to have some time with the sun. Hence our body is affected a lot. People living in a tropical region are normal getting enough sunlight and hence vitamin D3 in for their bodies. There are serious causes that we should be worried about, bone weakness, muscle ache, weak immune system, and so on. We should here the popular phrase prevention is better than cure. Even though it is very common in the world, paying not enough attention to this vitamin deficiency will affect your performance in your life and will make you become sick often. That is because vitamin D is an important part of supporting the immune system.

There are several studies that show the effects of vitamin D3 deficiency(1!, 2!)

All of them make something clear, to be a health-conscious person. Take a regular sunbath, have vitamin D3 rich foods, take a walk in sun several times a week, etc.

The amount of vitamin D3 your body needs will greatly depend on your age group, your body fat, your skin color ( Dark-skinned people need more sunlight when compared to others). If you have any of the symptoms we discussed above, my strong suggestion will be to consult a doctor and get yourself tested
