Do you experience regular body aches and feel tired all the time for no plausible reason? There’s a good chance your body may be lacking a sizeable amount of vitamin D.
Most of our health problems emerge from simple deficiencies that go undetected, says Mumbai-based orthopaedic Dr Nirad Vengsarkar.
Here, he tells us all about the modern day problem of vitamin D deficiency and its cure…
Recent studies have revealed that 65-70% Indians are vitamin D-deficient, and another 15% have insufficient vitamin D.
However, Dr Nirad says that people in India have always been vitamin D-deficient; it’s just that now the awareness has increased.
Popularly known as the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’, the maximum amount of vitamin D is produced by the body in response to the skin being exposed to sunlight, and through few food sources.
All the same, it’s hard to imagine how such a large population lacks in a vitamin available abundantly and freely in nature.
The answers lie in: Lack of physical activity, closed-door work life and desk jobs, limiting movement and consequent exposure to the sun.
