I had talked about Vitamin D deficiency very recently in this post. One of the blog readers, Roshni, left this comment which I think is worth reading.
I have vitamin D deficiency. Against the requirement of at least 30, my vitamin D was 3.4. My doc is giving me injections for the deficiency and has asked me to be very careful for sometime as my bones are brittle and can fracture easily.
Vitamin D deficiency is truly very common today (particularly after you start working as most people spend the whole day indoors). My suggestion to anyone who has this routine of getting up, exercising in the house and then going to work, to get your vitamin D checked.
I would again like to assert that going outdoors or having a house which has plenty of ventilation is a good idea as well as a proper balanced diet is very necessary to combat such deficiencies.
i SECOND THIS WITH U SWATI.
BeautifulSheForever blog is hosting its’ first giveaway. do enter 🙂
entered Vanu 🙂
Even my best friend who is a dr. got herself checked recently & found she has Vit D deficiency 🙁
yup, even my dad has been given multi-vitamins but the doc did check for vit D levels!!!
I hate sun… but for Vitamin D I will have to step out often 🙁
haha…true Swati but I do like sun when its mild and is accompanied by a pleasant breeze!!
yea i am a vegetarian but i think eating sunflower seeds or something has a lot of vitamin D 🙂
me too Krishna 🙂 you are a gujju na??? yes, i think eating sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are really beneficial in that way!!
Most of us do..more so vegetarians like me..even my aunt got those injections..and everyone above 40 these days is mostly affectd from vit D deficiency and recommended injections..
true Bhumi, veggies get less of proteins than non-veggies…me too not stopping eggs just due to that reason!! oh didn’t know that…guess once a person turns 40, they should undergo intensive checkup.
Getting outdoors is a necessity for everyone.. Plan activities so that you have fun and your body gets all the important ingredients… like a nice workout as well as the all important Vitamin D
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving lovely comment!!
