by Himanshu Mehera Health Expert,Consultant
Vitamin D is a nutrient associated with healthy bones and teeth. It is vitamin D that allows your body to absorb calcium from food sources. As per renowned medical practitioners from best hospitals in Varanasi, if the body does not receive enough vitamin D, many health issues start to develop in an individual, such as bone diseases (osteomalacia and osteoporosis), depression, and even cancer.

Getting sufficient vitamin D has become more difficult right now due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the onset of monsoon season in Varanasi. Still, there are some ways through which you can get enough vitamin D to meet your body requirements.
 
Diet for getting adequate vitamin D

Whole Grains
Include whole grains that are rich in vitamin D into your diet. You can consume whole grains, like ragi, barley, whole wheat, and oats as they are some good sources of vitamin D.

Eggs
Eggs are an excellent food source of this vitamin. Consume boiled eggs along with their yolks to get the maximum benefit.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms have a good amount of vitamin D in them. You can use mushrooms in various dishes – pasta, curries, fried rice, omelettes, and so on.

Nuts
You can rely on healthy nuts, such as walnuts and peanuts to receive vitamin D. You can consume salted peanuts or make akhrot ki barfi or halwa if you do not like eating them raw.

Vitamin D supplements
If you are not getting an ample amount of vitamin D from your diet, then consult a medical professional so that he or she can prescribe you vitamin D supplements of the right dosage.

Other ways to receive vitamin D

Open up the windows
It’s rainy season in Varanasi so the chances of getting sunlight are comparatively low. Try to open up your windows whenever you see a little sunlight outside.

Relax in your balcony or terrace

Whenever you find good sunlight, soak yourself in the sun around 7-10 AM by relaxing in your balcony or terrace.
