It is also known as the ‘sunshine vitamin’ because it is produced when our bodies interact with the sun. While that may sound playful and innocent, insufficient levels of it have been linked to a number of serious health conditions.

Common risk factors for Vitamin D deficiency

- The farther we live from the equator, the less sunlight we get.

- Most of the time indoors. Even people who live in the sunniest cities like Barcelona or Los Angeles can be at risk of vitamin D deficiency if they have to work desk jobs and spend most of their time inside office buildings.

- Not adding enough vitamin D-rich foods (oily fish, milk, egg yolks, beef liver, etc.)

- The body does not absorb vitamin D properly.

- If you are 50 years or older, you are at risk for vitamin D deficiency

I myself have been a victim of severe vitamin D deficiency and have known firsthand its effects. What happens is that at one point the entire immune system starts to go crazy

The point is, low vitamin D never goes alone. Although its deficiency is its own problem, it is also linked to many diseases. People who do not get enough vitamin D are prone to autoimmune diseases such as sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, dementia) and cancers. It is also associated with problems with the endocrine, kidney and reproductive systems, gut health, bone and joint problems, hormonal imbalances, heart conditions.

And even if it’s not the cause of some health problems, it’s certainly a predisposition. With weakened immunity, it will take longer for you to heal or get over an infection or virus. And something as simple as treating a cold can get complicated. All because the body becomes more resistant to treatment. However, boosting vitamin D levels can significantly speed up the recovery process and help get rid of the problems associated with its lack.
