With the arrival of autumn, we get less of the “sunshine” vitamin, so it’s time to look for other ways to get it.
Vitamin D is called “sunshine” because when exposed to sunlight, it activates forms of cholesterol in the skin, which are converted into this vitamin.
Vitamin D deficiency is a very common problem, as sun exposure is not common in all countries and cities. Endocrinologist Veronika Zaitseva explained what additional ways there are to replenish vitamin D if the sun is not visible.
How to suspect you have a deficiency
Possible symptoms may vary depending on age, weight, and more. People typically notice dull skin color, hair loss, dark eyes, and dullness. And even ordinary depression for no apparent reason is one of the alarm bells.
And eat fish…
The main source of vitamin D is the sun. But if sunbathing is not possible, you have to look for it in food. Therefore, we add different types of fish and seafood to the diet: salmon, mackerel, tuna, caviar, and shrimp.
In addition, even in the cold season, one should not forget about walks in the fresh air, as well as active recreation in nature.
