A single pebble dropped in a pond can create ripples that spread across the entire surface. A leading physician explains that a Vitamin D deficiency acts in much the same way, creating a negative ripple effect that can touch every aspect of your daily life.
The initial impact—the “pebble”—is the disruption of your genetic regulation. The expert clarifies that this is where the problem starts, as over 200 genes lose their proper hormonal signal.
The first ripple is often a drop in energy. You start to feel more tired and less motivated. This can affect your productivity at work and your engagement in your personal life.
The next ripple is a weakened immune system. You may find yourself catching colds more easily, causing you to miss work or social events.
Another ripple can be a change in your mood, making you feel more irritable or down. This can strain your relationships and reduce your overall enjoyment of life. The doctor’s advice is to stop the problem at its source by getting 10-30 minutes of daily sun, preventing the pebble of deficiency from ever being dropped.
