Vitamin D ko log “sunshine vitamin” kehte hain, phir bhi city life me deficiency bohot common hai – indoor jobs, sunscreen, pollution, aur daytime mostly office me.
Symptoms vague ho sakte hain: general thakan, low mood, muscles me halka pain, bones me dard, back ache, frequent infections. Kabhi-kabhi log isko sirf “age ho rahi hai” bolke ignore kar dete hain. Confirm simple blood test se hota hai.
Improvement ke do main sources – sunlight aur supplements/diet. Direct sun exposure (arms, face, legs) 10–20 minutes, week me kuch baar, helpful ho sakta hai, but obviously skin type, climate, and UV risk bhi consider karna padta hai. Sharp afternoon sun me excessive exposure ka risk alag hai.
Diet se vitamin D limited sources me milta hai – fortified milk/foods, some mushrooms, egg yolk, fish, etc. Veg + low-sun lifestyle me sirf food se ideal level maintain karna mushkil ho sakta hai.
Isliye doctors often supplements advise karte hain – drops, tablets, sachets, ya injection forms. Dose aur duration blood report ke hisaab se decide hota hai; khud se high-dose long term lena safe nahi.
Bone health, immunity, muscles, mood – sab me vitamin D role play karta hai. Isko luxury nahi, basic maintenance fuel samjho.
