Vitamin D: Are you deficient in this Essential vitamin?
Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins that is essential for bone health, brain health, optimum immune system, regulating inflammation in our body, and many more! Exposure to Sunlight is the easiest and natural way to get this vitamin. However, vitamin D supplements are also available on the market.
A deficiency of vitamin D may present with some features. Today, we will learn some of those features that may suggest a deficiency!
Bone pain is one of the most common features seen in a vitamin D-deficient person. Along with calcium, vitamin D plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of bone! Kids with vitamin D deficiency may suffer from growth failure.
Muscle cramps and weakness are other features that may suggest vitamin D deficiency! Again, calcium plays a role besides the vitamin.
Negative mode changes such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc, are linked to low Vitamin D in the body!
A short video from the Cleveland Clinic highlighted some of the warning signs in short form!
