Endocrinologist Viktor Zhilyaev, in an interview with Sputnik radio, spoke about the ways that can make up for the lack of vitamin D in the spring.
According to him, vitamin D performs a large number of functions in the human body, for example, it promotes the absorption of calcium from food. With a lack of this vitamin, the amount of calcium in the bones is significantly reduced, which can lead to a fracture, especially in old age.
“According to the data obtained as a result of research, if the level of vitamin D is reduced, then the human immune system is weakened. Among other things, this vitamin has a positive effect on muscle tone and the cardiovascular system. It also takes part in the regulation of blood pressure,” Zhilyaev said.
He recommended making up for the lack of vitamin D with a year-round intake of a vitamin-mineral complex. Since such supplements contain a precisely calibrated dose that is safe for an adult.
In addition, you can get vitamin D by visiting the solarium, but it is important to observe moderation.
