Well-known as the “Sunshine Vitamin”, vitamin D is a nutrient and a hormone produced by the body. It is vital for calcium absorption. In addition, it is instrumental in promoting bone growth and bone remodelling. Thus, you need to include vitamin D food in your diet. It will help promote your bone health, modulate cell growth, boost the immune system and prevent inflammation in the body.

Sun is a natural source of vitamin D. Just a few minutes in the sun can significantly boost your vitamin D levels. However, despite being easy to absorb, more than 40% of people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to brittle bones, rickets, osteomalacia, a weakened immune system, depression, cardiac-related issues, poor skin and hair health.
