Vitamin D helps your body build strong bones, improve immunity and maintain overall health.
Even with sunlight, healthy diet and supplements, some people still have low Vitamin D levels.
Sometimes the body cannot properly absorb Vitamin D, even when you take enough of it.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Your body needs bile to absorb it properly.
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It helps break down fats.
Eat bitter vegetables like bitter gourd, fenugreek and radish. Include healthy fats like nuts and olive oil.
Extremely low-fat diets may reduce bile flow and affect absorption of Vitamin D.
Long-term stress increases cortisol, which can reduce Vitamin D hormone production.
Get good sleep, practice meditation, take sunlight and stay physically active daily.
Sunlight and supplements help, but good digestion and stress control are also important.
