In fact, recent studies have found that increasing your vitamin D intake through supplementation can <a href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2022\/01\/vitamin-d-reduced-rate-of-autoimmune-diseases-by-22\/\">lower the risk of developing autoimmune diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>May reduce the risk of heart disease<\/h3>\n<p>Many studies show the <strong>importance of normal vitamin D levels for maintaining a healthy heart.<\/strong> On the contrary, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s40618-019-01057-y\">heart diseases<\/a> like coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and even stroke.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth noting that high-dose vitamin D supplements <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/news\/2022\/vitamin-d-heart-health-where-benefits-begin-and-end\">haven\u2019t been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease<\/a>, and they won\u2019t work on their own against an unhealthy lifestyle \u2014which increases the risk of heart disease on its own.<\/p>\n<p>More research is needed to determine how vitamin D can improve heart health, but we do know that, when combined with a healthy diet, exercise, and a good sleep schedule, its impact on the heart\u2019s well-being can be positive.<\/p>\n<h3>May improve your mood<\/h3>\n<p>Have you noticed that even a little sunshine outside your window can improve your mood? Sun exposure has been shown to produce serotonin, a \u201cfeel-good\u201d hormone that helps <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/22572-serotonin\">regulate your mood<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sun exposure is one of the best ways to get enough vitamin D.<\/strong> However, it\u2019s important to remember that the sun alone won\u2019t be strong enough to enable your body to produce the recommended amount of vitamin D during the cold seasons\u2014especially if you live in a Northern country or if you spend most of your days indoors.<\/p>\n<p>Low levels of serotonin have been associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/22572-serotonin\">depression and feelings of sadness<\/a>. Thankfully, an action as simple as enjoying the sun for 10-30 minutes can help you <strong>get enough vitamin D, boost your serotonin production, and ultimately improve your mood.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>May reduce the risk of chronic disease<\/h3>\n<p>Studies suggest that <strong>normal levels of vitamin D can reduce the risk of developing certain chronic diseases<\/strong>, as it helps fight one of their main predecessors\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/ije\/dyac087\">inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, research has shown that vitamin D can reduce the growth of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/vitamin-d\/\">cancer cells<\/a>, which can assist in preventing this illness as well.<\/p>\n<p>While low vitamin D levels have been linked to chronic disease, it is important to note that this does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between chronic illness and vitamin D deficiency. <strong>Multiple factors can lead to the development of chronic health issues<\/strong>, and, to prevent them, it might be necessary to take care of your health as a whole through your overall lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Vitamin_D_Deficiency\"><\/span>Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies worldwide<\/strong>, but it is especially prevalent in older adults as vitamin D production <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016%2Fj.ecl.2013.02.004\">decreases with age<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nebraskamed.com\/primary-care\/9-vitamin-d-deficiency-symptoms-and-11-high-vitamin-d-foods\">symptoms of vitamin D deficiency<\/a> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fatigue<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Muscle pain<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Bone pain<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Pale skin<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hair loss<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Depression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another symptom of vitamin D deficiency is weight gain.

However,<strong> these foods tend to be highly processed and should not be considered a primary source of vitamins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Supplementation<\/h3>\n<p>Getting the recommended amount of vitamin D during the cold season may be challenging, as our exposure to sunlight gets reduced significantly. As mentioned before, other factors like aging may also make it harder for the body to reach its necessary vitamin D levels.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D supplements may come in handy to help you stay healthy all year round. In fact, <strong>it\u2019s often recommended to take these supplements during the cold seasons<\/strong> in countries like <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/3954605\/vitamin-d-canada-winter-food-supplements\/\">Canada<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iadsa.org\/mind-the-gap\/english\/finland\">Finland<\/a>, where the population doesn\u2019t usually get enough sun exposure.<\/p>\n<p>They usually come in the form of dietary supplements <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/vitamin-d2-vs-d3\">(D2 and D3)<\/a> and multivitamins, all in different dosages and recommended intake instructions.
