Vitamin D deficiency is incredibly common, especially in colder climates and during winter months when UVB rays are scarce. Without enough UV exposure, our bodies can’t produce the vitamin D we need through our skin. And while gloomy weather is tough on everyone, some groups are much more at risk for deficiency.
According to national health surveys, over 50% of adults experience low vitamin D levels and shockingly, more than 1 in 5 people report deficiency even outside of winter.
Vitamin D deficiency is often hard to detect without a test, but common symptoms can include:
For many, these signs are subtle and easy to overlook. But if left untreated, a deficiency can impact overall health and quality of life.
While anyone can be affected, certain people are more vulnerable than others, including:
During winter, UVB rays are virtually absent in many regions. That means our skin can’t naturally produce vitamin D, even on sunny days. Experts recommend consuming vitamin D-rich foods like:
Still, diet alone often isn’t enough. Using a UVB light therapy device can help restore and maintain healthy levels, especially for older adults. In fact, studies show that people over 65 produce four times less vitamin D in their skin than younger adults.
If you fall into one of the high-risk groups, the first step is to test your vitamin D levels. From there, you can take targeted steps to get back on track, including UVB light therapy.
