If you are allergic to the sun, make sure to have Vitamin D supplements. Here are some other tips that will help you get your dose of Vitamin D. Read on!

Sun-sensitive? Fear not! Your complete guide to winter Vitamin D sources

If you are allergic to the sun, make sure to have Vitamin D supplements. Here are some other tips that will help you get your dose of Vitamin D. Read on!

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's health. In winter, sun is sparse, and it becomes more important to figure out alternative ways of getting Vitamin D. Sitting under the sun with a warm cup of coffee and soaking in the sun, is probably one of the best things about a winter morning. However, not everyone like the sun and some are even allergic.&nbsp;
If you are allergic to sun rays and yet want the benefits of Vitamin D, here are some ways you can seep in Vitamin D even while not sitting under the sun directly.
<h3>How to get Vitamin D sans sitting directly under the sun</h3>
If you are sun-shy, make sure to get sun exposure early in the morning. The early morning sun reduces the risk of sunburn and minimises the potential harm to sensitive skin. Make sure to keep your sun exposure to minimum when you start soaking in the sun.&nbsp;
Another thing to keep in mind is sunscreen. Make sunscreens your best friend and keep reapplying once every two hours. Another way to add Vitamin D to your diet is by consuming fatty fish like salmon, fortified dairy products, and Vitamin D supplements.
If you are allergic to sun, always carry an umbrella and any anti-allergic medicine prescribed by a doctor.

It's important to note that it can be challenging to meet vitamin D needs through diet alone, especially during winter or for individuals with limited sun exposure. 

How much vitamin D do you need in winters? Know what experts recommend to suffice the need

It's important to note that it can be challenging to meet vitamin D needs through diet alone, especially during winter or for individuals with limited sun exposure.

Recent research at 2023 American Heart Association&rsquo;s Scientific Sessions conference proposes that the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin D in individuals is insufficient to attain optimal levels, particularly for people with heart issues. &nbsp;
Experts suggest the amount of vitamin D during winters can vary based on factors such as age, sex, health status, and individual needs. However, general guidelines suggest that adults need around 600 to 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day.
It's important to note that sunlight exposure also contributes to vitamin D synthesis in the skin, but during winter months or for those with limited sun exposure, dietary sources and supplements may be necessary to meet recommended levels. In that case, always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice for supplements you may take or the change in nutrition you must adapt to suffice the need of vitamin D in your body.&nbsp;
<h3>Foods that help in combating vitamin D deficiency in body:&nbsp;</h3>
Fatty Fish: Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout are rich sources of vitamin D.
Cod Liver Oil: A potent source of vitamin D, cod liver oil is available in supplement form.
Egg Yolks: Eggs, particularly the yolks, contain vitamin D. Keep in mind that the amount can vary based on the chicken's diet.
Mushrooms: Some varieties of mushrooms, like maitake and shiitake, can provide a small amount of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
Fortified Foods: Many foods, such as milk, orange juice, and breakfast cereals, are fortified with vitamin D. Check the labels for added nutrients. Cheese: Certain types of cheese, like Swiss and cheddar, contain small amounts of vitamin D.
Tofu and Soy Milk: Some plant-based products, when fortified, can be good sources of vitamin D.

Soak in some sunshine for better mental health! 

Study suggests vitamin D supplements could ease symptoms of depression in people.&nbsp;

Justin Timberlake was quite right when he sang, "I got that sunshine in my pocket, got that good soul in my feet." Wanna know why?&nbsp;
Published in the journal Critical Reviews in Food and Nutrition, a recent study suggests, vitamin D supplements could ease symptoms of depression in people.&nbsp;
We are all aware of Vitamin D&rsquo;s role in keeping our bones, teeth and muscles healthy. Now, researchers have also found a connection between vitamin D deficiency and depression.&nbsp;
For the study, researchers analysed data from a total of 53,235 volunteers across 41 studies. These participants included individuals with and without depression and those taking vitamin D supplements.&nbsp;
They noted that vitamin D supplementation has beneficial effects on individuals with depression. However, the data only indicates that vitamin D supplements ease depressive symptoms and don't cure them.&nbsp;
As per WHO, depression affects more than 280 million people every year and having antidepressants can worsen the condition. So, drop that pill and soak in some sunshine for great mental health!&nbsp;

Vitamin D: What is vitamin D toxicity and how does it affect your body? 

Vitamin D has a 'toxic' trait that you need to be aware of!

Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining your overall health. It&rsquo;s necessary for the growth and development of your muscle cells and maintaining skeletal health. Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common and as per the National Institutes of Health in the USA, its deficiency affects around 1 billion people worldwide.
To combat the deficiency, many people use vitamin D supplements that are considered safe and non-toxic. However, toxicity is a possible outcome when consumed in large unhealthy doses. Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Let&rsquo;s take a look at what happens when you consume more than 100 nanogram/ml of vitamin D on a regular basis, according to the National Institutes of Health in the USA.
Elevated blood calcium levels
Vitamin D helps your body absorb&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;from the food you eat. In fact, this is one of its most important roles. However, if your vitamin D intake is excessive, your blood calcium may reach levels that can cause unpleasant and potentially dangerous symptoms.
Gastrointestinal symptoms
The main side effects of excessive vitamin D levels are related to excessive calcium in the blood. Nausea, excessive vomiting, constipation, diarrhea or poor appetite are signs of hypercalcemia&nbsp;or high blood calcium levels, that are caused by vitamin D overdose.
Altered neurological senses
The increased calcium levels due to excessive vitamin D intake can cause confusion, agitation, depression, and psychosis.

The warning signs&nbsp;indicating&nbsp;low vitamin D levels are generally subtle.&nbsp;Here&rsquo;s&nbsp;a&nbsp;handy guide&nbsp;to&nbsp;some symptoms&nbsp;worth keeping in mind.&nbsp;
Bone and back pain&nbsp;
A regulator of calcium and phosphate in the body, vitamin D is essential to maintaining good bone health.&nbsp;Lack of vitamin D can lead to low bone&nbsp;mineral density.&nbsp;This is why&nbsp;bone pain and lower back pain&nbsp;can be&nbsp;common signals of inadequate levels of the vitamin.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Muscle weakness or cramps&nbsp;
A study in the&nbsp;Western Journal of Medicine found that muscle weakness is common in people with low vitamin D levels&nbsp;but thankfully,&nbsp;weakness or&nbsp;pain&nbsp;in the muscles&nbsp;could be reversed by improving intake. Additionally, a deficiency can also increase instances of muscle cramping.
Fatigue or tiredness&nbsp;
More than 77 per cent of people with low vitamin D levels reported feeling fatigued or&nbsp;constantly&nbsp;tired in a study published in the North American Journal of Medical Sciences.&nbsp;Some research has also&nbsp;shown that&nbsp;increasing your intake could reduce the severity of fatigue.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Mood changes&nbsp;
Research&nbsp;has shown&nbsp;that a depressive mood may be a sign of vitamin D deficiency.&nbsp;A study in the Journal of Affective Disorders linked late-life depression with the deficiency.&nbsp;Other studies including one in the journal Nutrients found that giving vitamin D to people with low levels of depression, especially seasonal depression, resulted in positive outcomes.
If you notice these symptoms in your body then a blood test for vitamin D might be in order!

However, a new meta-analysis of 54 trials has found that&nbsp;vitamin D supplementation shows no signs of improving muscle health.&nbsp;Published in the&nbsp;Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, the study assessed data from&nbsp;double-blinded, placebo-controlled, English-language randomized controlled trials.
Researchers were not able to find any benefit of vitamin D supplements&nbsp;on muscle strength or health. In fact, daily dosages of vitamin D greater than 2,800&nbsp;international units actually&nbsp;reduced muscle performance in certain tests.
Citing limitations of available literature, the authors say that since no studies include people with vitamin D deficiency in isolation, such individuals with low levels of the vitamin may still benefit from taking the supplement.
