Vitamin d deficiency
My vitamin d level is too low. It is only 6.9 micrograms where the desirable range is above 30. I am taking vitamin tablet every week. I learnt that sunlight is required for synthesis of this vitamin in the skin. I want to know what are the foods which provide this vitamin. Please help me out.

Yes sunlight helps to produce Vitamin D3 in our body, but now a days it's not possible always to get sunlight so deficiency is also common but need to be supplementise by Sachet.VitaminD3 60,000 IU, on weekly basis. Take yellow fruits on daily basis like Ripe papaya, Mango, Safeda etc, but certain exercise & yoga is must at your age. For customised diet fit for only you and also for customised exercise plan,contact me directly via chat.
