Boost vitamin D to protect your health in winter

Tuấn Đạt (Theo Healthline) |

Housewives should increase vitamin D intake to avoid deficiency in winter, which affects health and the immune system.

Vitamin D is known to play an important role in maintaining bone health and the immune system and is a vitamin that is easily deficient during the cold winter months.

Reduced exposure to sunlight - a natural source of vitamin D - puts many people at risk of deficiency, which can lead to problems such as weakened bones, reduced immunity or even increased risk of chronic disease.

Therefore, housewives need to understand the process and supplement vitamin D properly to achieve high efficiency to optimally protect the family's health in the cold winter.

Vitamin D plays an essential role in maintaining overall health, especially in winter. Vitamin D not only helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus effectively, but also helps support the immune system, reducing the risk of flu, colds and even chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D deficiency can cause osteoporosis, muscle pain or weakness.

Sunlight is an important source of natural vitamin D, but in winter, shorter daylight hours and less sunlight can cause the body to lack the necessary amount of vitamin D.

Some signs of vitamin D deficiency include feeling tired and lethargic, muscle pain, being susceptible to colds or infections, mood swings...

Therefore, housewives should pay attention to supplementing vitamin D in winter by adjusting their diet with some natural foods rich in vitamin D to help supplement the necessary amount of vitamins for the body such as mackerel, salmon, herring, egg yolks, mushrooms, milk or dairy products.

Using vitamin D supplements is also an effective solution in winter. However, it is important to use the correct dosage as recommended by your doctor to avoid the risk of excess vitamin D which can have adverse effects on your health.

At the same time, housewives should pay attention to spending time outdoors to help the body absorb some vitamin D. In particular, taking care of a healthy immune system will help the body absorb and metabolize vitamin D more effectively.

Therefore, maintaining a nutritious diet, regular exercise and adequate rest will help the body stay healthy during the cold winter days.
