Vitamin D deficiency leads to a feeling of fatigue and lethargy, as it regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the body, and is also important for bones and muscles. This is reported by the British Medical Journal with reference to nutritionist and author of the book “Osteoporosis: How to Prevent, Treat and Reverse” Marilyn Glenville. According to the doctor, the daily dose of vitamin D is 10 micrograms per day.
According to the publication, scientists have found that more than 50% of adults in the UK have underestimated vitamin D levels. 16% of citizens have severe vitamin D deficiency in winter. This vitamin is important for strengthening the immune system. It is possible that frequent colds and flu in the winter are associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Doctors named the symptoms of a vitamin deficiency: hair loss, fatigue, depression, numbness, muscle and bone pain, bone loss, seasonal affective disorder.
A person receives only 10% of the vitamin from food. You can increase this figure by adding more liver, oily fish, egg yolks, red meat, and vitamin-fortified breakfast cereals to the menu, the nutritionist said. She added that it is impossible to exceed the norm (10 micrograms per day) when using vitamin supplements, this will poison the body.
Marilyn Glenville advised being in the sun every day. For light-skinned people, the norm is 10-15 minutes, for dark-skinned people – 25-40 minutes a day.
