  • During winters, our body's Vitamin D levels take a dip.

    This happens because the days tend to be shorter in winters, implying that our body doesn't get sufficient UV (ultraviolet) rays from the sun, to produce enough Vitamin D.

    Hence, in order to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels, it is advisable to consume 5 times more Vitamin D during wintertime, through your diet.
