Vitamin D Deficiency: More Than Just Rickets
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
Vitamin D deficiency isn’t just about rickets—it’s a widespread issue that affects bone health, immunity, muscle strength, and even the risk of cancer and heart disease. This review highlights how essential vitamin D is and why most people likely need more than current guidelines recommend.
If you spend most of your time indoors, live at a high latitude, or rarely eat fatty fish, chances are your vitamin D levels are too low. Daily supplementation with vitamin D3 and sensible sun exposure are simple ways to support long-term health.
