Vitamin D is an important requisite for healthy living. The chances of suffering from a deficiency of Vitamin D increase during winter, and it becomes more important to ensure that you meet the basic requirements of the nutrient. Sunlight is a rich source of Vitamin D, but its scarcity during winter is the primary reason for the deficiency that can be healed with alternative sources of energy. In order to keep the gastrointestinal system healthy, vitamin D is crucial. Increased vitamin D levels decrease both human and animal susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and lung and gut infections. Your gut microorganisms will be healthier, and you’ll be more resistant to infection and inflammation all year long if you consume extra vitamin D during the winter.
