When Shantanu Moitra came up with the song "Give me some sunshine..." for the movie 3 Idiots, he perhaps didn't know what an important message this was giving to the whole of Indian population! Did you know, 70-100% Indians suffer from Vitamin D deficiency! There is a tendency to think of Vitamin deficiency as not a serious issue. But Vit D deficiency leads to several health issues which can affect the quality of life. Most often the cause of deficiency is inadequate sunlight exposure.
Vitamin D is produced by our body in response to the skin being exposed to sunlight. Hence it is called the Sunshine Vitamin. It also occurs naturally in a few foods like some fish, fish oils and egg yolks. So a large number of people who are vegetarians end up being deficient.
It affects young and old alike and here is what you can do to avoid Vitamin D Deficiency.
Never miss a chance to get out and get some sun! It does you a lot more good than you ever realize!
