Warm Weather And Soaking Up Some Natural Vitamin D
Are you someone that is a homebody or stays indoors a lot? Do you have a vitamin D deficiency because of this?
As my disease has progressed and my immune system has weakened, I stay indoors a lot more than I did before my disease onset. As a result, my skin has lightened considerably. Now that the weather is warming up I plan on prioritizing my time spent outdoors in my backyard. This will also provide me with some natural vitamin D on top of my vitamin D supplements. I’m also hoping for a bit of a sun kissed glow to make me look a bit more healthy as well.
What are some ways you replenish your body with enough vitamin D?

Yes, I’ve had to take 50,000 units weekly to get my D back up. I went for a walk with my psychical therapist today for about 400 feet and then played for 10 + minutes with my dog outside. I never realized how much a lack of vitamin D and others can truly affect your physical and mental health. I’m hoping that the beach mats will be placed at the local beach soon and I can enjoy getting natural D from the sun!

Vitamin D is one of our body’s essential nutrients to maintain healthy bone density. When I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, my friends said that I was spending the most time at home due to working from home. They explained that vitamin D is a byproduct of sunlight, and it is the best source of vitamin D I can get. When I consulted a physician, he prescribed a few vitamins tablets. Also suggested having food items enriched with vitamin D, mainly mushrooms, fatty fish, seafood, and egg yolks! Even my cousin, who is a dietician, had suggested the same. But you have to intake vitamin supplements only in prescribed dosage to avoid other health consequences. Thanks to an online vitamin supplements store, I don’t have to go in search of them everywhere! I would also suggest you seek professional help before trying home remedies!
