This is Why Vitamin D Is the Essential Nutrient for Your Mind, Body, Hair & Skin

Although you need all the necessary Vitamins like E, K, A, etc., vitamin D has special importance. It’s the most essential nutrient for your hair, skin, mind, and body. Why is that so? Well, this is what this blog is all about. Below, you’ll find how Vitamin D deficiency affects our body which will help you realize its importance. So, let’s get started.

What are the basic functions of Vitamin D?

The basic functions of Vitamin D are:

•    Better Bones: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, helps maintain phosphorus and calcium in the blood. Also, vitamin D assists in calcium absorption, which provides your bones with strength.
 
•    Reduces stress: Vitamin D is known to regulate mood, which helps reduce stress. And reduced stress in turn keeps you away from depression.

•    Promotes weight loss: Vitamin D supplements effectively help in weight loss. It’s because when combined with vitamin C, vitamin D reduces appetite, which assists in weight reduction.

How does Vitamin D deficiency affect your body?

The initial signs of vitamin D deficiency usually include lower back pain, fatigue, cramps, and even muscular pain. It’s because vitamin D deficiency affects calcium absorption, which directly impacts your bones. Vitamin D deficiency is known to cause rickets and osteomalacia in kids and osteomalacia in adults.

Ideally, vitamin D plays an important role in immune and neuromuscular function, cell growth, and also lowers inflammation. So, if you don’t maintain the required levels of vitamin D, you might invite:

•    Cardiovascular and psychiatric disorders
•    Metabolic disorders,
•    Cancer (as vitamin lowers inflammation)
•    Type 2 diabetes
•    Osteoporosis leads to bone fractures
•    Hypertension
•    Obesity
•    Lack of mobility
•    Stress or even depression
•    Slow healing
 
And in case the above symptoms go unnoticed, or you don’t do anything about the deficiency, you might become prone to:
 
•    Multiple sclerosis
•    Crohn’s disease
•    Rheumatoid arthritis
•    Metabolic syndrome
•    Prostate cancer
•    Colorectal cancer
•    Schizophrenia
•    Asthma
•    Gum diseases
•    Insulin resistance
•    Hair loss
•    Heart disease
So, this is how vitamin D deficiency can affect your body. Now, let’s focus on how vitamin  D deficiency can affect your nails, hair, and skin.  

How does Vitamin D deficiency affect your skin, nail, and hair health?

Vitamin D is also known for phosphate regulation in your body which is important for better skin and hair. And deficiency of Vitamin d usually leads to:

•    Alopecia
•    Atopic dermatitis
•    Psoriasis
 
Vitamin D promotes the creation of a barrier that protects your skin. And its deficiency can cause that layer to weaken, causing skin(ichthyosis). Also, Vitamin D is quite rich in anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help prevent acne and skin breakouts. And its deficiency can cause the opposite.

Vitamin D deficiency causes fine lines and brittle nails due to a lack of antioxidants. Furthermore, you may experience slower healing of wounds, which is a great health concern.  

What now?

Vitamin D deficiency is quite harmful. So, what should you do? You can expose yourself to the sun daily and can consume the following foods:
 
•    Sardine
•    Salmon
•    Mushrooms
•    Low-fat dairy products
•    Mackerel
•    Egg yolks
•    Cereals

All of the above are Vitamin D-rich foods that can help you maintain optimum levels of Vitamin D. But, make sure to discuss the vitamin D dosage before starting.
