Hi This is Joy, Co-founder at NirogGyan.
In today’s hustle, spending almost the entire day indoors has become the norm, especially for us startup folks. 🏢 And guess what? It was affecting me more than I realized.
I was getting inexplicably tired, muscles felt weaker and bones ache for no apparent reason? Little did I know, these were subtle signs of Vitamin D deficiency!
One tiny nutrient influencing so much of our well-being — it’s mind-boggling!
Being in healthcare, I knew its an important vitamin and apart from those good ol’ sun rays, it is also present in foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy, and, of course, supplements. And let me tell you, once I upped my Vitamin D game, I felt a whole lot better. More energy, less fatigue, and my bones weren’t complaining anymore!
People who are in sun-limited areas like hills, or office workers, or Arctic region are more susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency. Skin color and age also affects Vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D supplements are over the counter, meaning you can take it without prescription. But only take it with the advice of your doctor as overdose may cause toxicity. A healthy adult can take 1 Vitamin D tablet of 60K IU once a month, lifetime, to maintain the balance.
Check out the symptoms below, if they are persistent in your lifestyle go for a checkup today.
