Warning, Vitamin D is one of the most crucial nutrients to your health and you may have a deficiency. Learn the symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency and how you can get more vitamin D today so you can live a healthier and happier life!
Some of the main symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include being tired all of the time, muscle weakness, lowered and compromised immune system, candida overgrowth, bacterial overgrowth, hormone and emotional imbalances, mood swings, weak bones or teeth, trouble gaining muscle/weight, losing weight and so many more!
Some of the causes of Vitamin D deficiency include not getting enough sunlight!!!!!! This is the number one reason. Also toxic chemicals in disposable plastic bottles and containers. Chemicals in the air such as smog.
If you want to start getting more Vitamin D, number one way is to get more direct sunlight exposure! Shoot for 20 minutes a day, even 5 minutes can help! Wearing clothes that cover your skin most of the day, working inside 9-5, living in the northern states and further from the equator. All of these factors can make it harder to get sunshine every day.
Certain foods can help increase your Vitamin D, unfortunately though not many foods naturally have high levels of Vitamin D, because of this many foods are fortified with Vitamin D. Some foods you can increase are wild caught fish such as salmon and tuna, egg yolks, dairy and mushrooms.
If you’re worried bout your Vitamin D levels I encourage you to take a look at how your’e feeling and consider going to get a Vitamin D panel done. This way you can decide what steps you can take to start increasing your Vitamin D levels and feeling better!
Thanks so much for watching!
