With a vitamin D deficiency, which often occurs in the winter months, the body is undersupplied with vitamin D. Vitamin D is particularly important for healthy bones: if the body lacks vitamin D, the bones can lose stability.
The human body produces vitamin D when the skin comes into contact with sunlight.
To prevent a vitamin D deficiency, you should expose your face, hands and arms to the sun several times a week from spring to fall.
Use the Sola app to track your vitamin D intake. This will ensure that your body is optimally supplied with vitamin D.
A small amount of vitamin D is also taken in with food: It is found in oily fish, offal, eggs and mushrooms. Therefore, make sure you eat a balanced diet, especially in the winter months.
