Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is among the leading nutritional deficiencies reported worldwide, with nearly 50% of the global population believed to be either deficient or insufficient.
Statistics show that older adults and obese individuals are a high-risk category for VDD. Low Vitamin D levels have also been linked to chronic anxiety & depression and maintaining sufficient serum Vitamin D levels are critical for preventing a variety of mood disorders.
In addition to adequate sun exposure, incorporating Vitamin D-rich foods such fatty-fish, cod-liver, egg-yolks and fortfied milk into the diet may help offset the impact of VDD especially during winter months when optimal sun-exposure is limited.
