Posted by Dr Rubbina Shaikh, Health Expert and Life Style Advisor on 9th Dec 2024
Sunlight is your best source of vitamin D. The easiest way to get it is to sneak away from daily chores, grab some rays, and let your body do the remaining job. But the sun gets so busy playing peek-a-boo during winters that we do not get to make enough vitamin D.
Do you think only our outer self is busy from the hour we wake up until we dive into our cosy corner? Most of the time this could be the case but every second many functions are ongoing inside each cell of our body.
Nutrients play a vital role in all our day-to-day internal business. One such essential micronutrient is Vitamin. There are 9 water-soluble and 4 fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B groups and C fall under the water-soluble category while the fat-soluble ones are vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamin D is commonly named Sunshine Vitamin.
So, before we tackle those shiny affairs, let's consider the importance of this wonder micro-nutrient, Vitamin D.
Vitamin D3 has a significant role in maintaining the health of the heart, bones, teeth, and muscles. Besides optimising calcium absorption, it helps regulate the level of phosphates and magnesium. It supports immune functions and is crucial in avoiding the risk of various health issues like depression, diabetes, infections, asthma, fractures, inflammation, pain, fatigue, weakness, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, obesity, and so on. It also has anti-oxidant action that lowers the damage caused by oxidative stress.
In seasonal cases like winters where exposure to sunlight is questionable, a Vitamin D-rich diet with Vitamin D supplements is highly recommendable.
We have some Sunshine arrangements in our product list to ensure your levels of Vitamin D are maintained regularly.
