My vitamin D is low what should I do?

[14615]

I just received the results of a routine test and they found that I have a lower than normal level of vitamin D. Should I pay for a doctor visit or just take a vitamin D supplement?

You take vitamin D from sunlight and if it is low it means you don't go out enough or there are not enough sunny days where you live. If you can't just spend more time in the sun take a vitamin D supplement and you should be fine.

Go to the Beach!!! The sun is the best source for Vitamin D. I think it’s interesting that some people have a Vitamin D deficiency and don’t know unless the doctors tell them, and there are others that suffer from achy bones and weakness. From my experience, my primary care physician prescribed a supplement to get my Vitamin D to a healthy level.

Vitamin D is one of the necessary vitamins for your body to create energy. Without it you can end up feeling tired most of the day. This will make it hard for you to get around or even get to work. You should consult your doctor if you have constant feelings of tiredness.

As this vitamin is one of the necessary vitamin for our body .
This deficiency is usually because of lack of sun and sunshine . For this you should change your daily routine have some sun bath .
Many of experts recommend to sit in the sun daily for min 10-15 min
Now the question is that HOW OUR BODY GET VITAMIN D FROM SUN???
So for this their is a substance name Melanin , Its present in our skin.The amount of melanin in our skin will effect the amount of vitamin D you can produce ; SO the fairer the skin tone the more you can make vitamin D or vice versa.
The more sunshine we receive the melanin is released in our skin.Its about 90 - 95% Vitamin D comes from sunshine.
You can also use following food :

Swordfish
Sockey salmon
Tuna
Sardines
Beef liver
Eggs

Yes; we get vitamin D from the rays of sunlight. If you'll notice people in cold area mostly prefer to have a sun bath at a beach. It is because they find lackness of vitamin D which forces them to be in sunlight.
