Unlike other vitamins primarily obtained through diet, Vitamin D can be synthesized in the skin when exposed to sunlight. In spite of living in a country where there is no dearth of sunlight, Vit-D deficiency is very prevalent! According to a study in 2023 involving 2.2 lakh people across 27 cities in India, 3 out of every 4 Indians are deficient in Vitamin D. Or in other words, if you are an Indian, there is a 75% chance that you are deficient in Vit-D!
Vitamin D goes beyond just bone health and calcium absorption; it plays a multifaceted role in maintaining overall health. It regulates the expression of genes involved in immune function, modulates inflammation, and contributes to cell growth and differentiation. Adequate Vitamin D levels are also linked to reduced risks of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, and autoimmune disorders. Moreover, this vitamin is crucial for the maintenance of mental well-being. Low levels of Vitamin D are often associated with an increased risk of mood disorders and cognitive decline.
