The most accurate way to determine if you have low vitamin D levels is through a blood test. However, if you suffer from frequent bone and muscle pain, you may be at risk. Factors such as lack of sun exposure, a poor diet, or certain medical conditions can contribute to this deficiency.
How to increase vitamin D levels in the body?
To prevent or treat vitamin D deficiency, you can follow these tips:
1. Sun exposure
The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight. It’s recommended to sunbathe for 10-30 minutes a day, preferably in the morning or afternoon, to prevent skin damage.
2. Diet rich in vitamin D
Incorporate these foods into your diet to increase your vitamin D levels:
Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines.
Eggs, especially the yolk.
Fortified dairy products such as milk and yogurt.
Mushrooms and fungi exposed to sunlight.
3. Vitamin D supplements
