- For vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiencies, improving diet and lifestyle can help improve nutrient levels and absorption. - Do consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplements; as dosage and duration are personalized for individuals. - For vitamin B12, consume foods like eggs, dairy, fish, chicken, lean meat, fortified cereals. - Try to include food sources like eggs, fatty fish, milk with fortified nutrients, and mushrooms exposed to sunlight for vitamin D content through foods. - Walk or sit in sunlight between 11 am and 1 pm for 15–30 minutes to boost natural vitamin D production. - To improve vitamin D absorption and bone health, consume foods that are good calcium sources such as dairy products (milk, yogurt), leafy green vegetables (broccoli), and fish (sardines, salmon). - Maintain a balanced diet including all food groups such as fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats while avoiding packaged or ultra processed foods. - Practice gentle strength training exercises as it will help improve muscle strength and overall well-being.
