Products that effectively eliminate vitamin D deficiency in winter were named. These include milk, cereals, juices, oily fish and yoghurt. In this respect reports SciTechDaily.
Vitamin D has various functions in the body. It helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, immune and nervous systems. It also regulates the level of insulin in the blood and is responsible for the concentration of important hormones such as serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a variety of mental and physical health problems, including depression, rickets, osteoporosis (brittle bones), muscular dystrophy, and hypertension. A blood test is recommended to determine if there is a deficiency.
To maintain normal vitamin D levels, you need to include fish and seafood (salmon, tuna, shrimp, halibut) in your diet. Other animal products, such as meat and eggs, will also do the job effectively. Fruit juices (including orange juice), milk, and yogurt, as well as cereals, can help prevent problems in the body.
Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, you should avoid foods that are very low in this nutrient, such as low-fat cottage cheese.
