Are you Getting Enough Vitamin D?
Get your vitamin D levels tested!!
Most adults in North America are deficient in Vitamin D! Though this fat-soluble vitamin can be found in some foods, we get most of our vitamin D from the sun. Your body makes it from cholesterol when your skin is exposed to sunlight!
Everyday we need around 15 minutes of sun exposure to maintain vitamin D levels – this is almost impossible for most Canadians in the winter months! Vitamin D is very important for a strong immune system, balanced hormones and mood. During this time of year, the easiest way to ensure adequate Vitamin D levels is to get tested and supplement accordingly.
Some signs of a potential Vitamin D deficiency are:
1. Getting Sick Often
2. Feeling Tired
3. Bone and Back Pain
4. Depressed Mood
5. Slow Wound Healing
6. Hair Loss
7. Muscle Pain
Boosting vitamin D levels is crucial for overall health and well-being, especially for Toronto residents who face limited sunlight exposure during the winter months.
Ask one of the Naturopathic Doctors at The Village Health Clinic in Toronto to test your Vitamin D levels. It is a simple, inexpensive test that will help you determine how much vitamin D your body needs to stay healthy!
Make an appointment today to test your levels and ensure you are taking the proper dose of Vitamin D!
