Don't Make This Vitamin D Mistake #vitamind #immunesystem #shorts

Want to know the common mistake people make with vitamin D? As a mom and pediatric doctor who specializes in natural medicines, I recommend vitamin D as early as a baby's first day of life. This essential vitamin is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system. But here's a common mistake people make: you don't want to wait to take vitamin D once your symptoms start. You want to take this vitamin daily so you have enough in your body so when sickness comes, vitamin D is ready to help fight. Many of us are deficient in vitamin D, and especially if you're a pregnant mom deficient, your baby will be born deficient as well. Or if you're a nursing mom your baby will take as much vitamin D for themselves and leave you with little left for your own needs. Now, this is why supplementing with vitamin D is so important, especially for the pregnant and nursing mamas out there. You have a higher risk for deficiency. All right, now the good news is that vitamin D is widely available in supplement form. Now, it's also found in some foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms. So the next time you're looking for a natural and easy way to boost your family's immune system, consider incorporating vitamin D into your daily routine.
