\n Call it Vitamin D for Deficiency.<\/p>\n

Even as coronavirus-related lockdowns continue to lift in New York City, which began Phase 3 of reopening on Monday, and more people leave the confines of their apartments to meet up with friends under summer skies, there is still one thing to keep in mind: Even with easier access to the outdoors, we still may not have sufficient Vitamin D in our systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can only come from adequate sun exposure, and without that there\u2019s no source of Vitamin D that\u2019s enough,\u201d says Dr. Len Horovitz, an internist and pulmonologist at Lenox Hill Hospital. \u201cEither you\u2019re a farmer or a tennis pro and you get it that way, or you take a [daily] gel cap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even before the onset of the coronavirus outbreak in the spring, Vitamin D deficiencies were a problem, but it\u2019s become even more pronounced since the shutdown encouraged people to stay indoors to curb the spread.<\/p>\n

\u201c[People] have even less ultraviolet exposure in lockdown,\u201d says Horovitz. \u201cBut it can be corrected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure, fish and fish oils are rich in Vitamin D \u2014 and with the risk of skin cancer, there is such a thing as too much sun exposure \u2014 but the best method is \u201cto take that gel cap in the morning,\u201d says Horovitz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the only vitamin people really need,\u201d he says, adding that you can get the others in a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

Indeed, \u201cit\u2019s one of the easiest deficiencies to correct,\u201d says Dori Arad, Ph.D., a clinical dietitian, exercise physiologist and director of Mount Sinai\u2019s Physiolab. The body makes Vitamin D from cholesterol under the skin, which sunlight activates, then it heads through the liver and kidneys to process further. But with those who are still in isolation \u2014 he points to people with pre-existing conditions and those over age 65 \u2014 taking it in vitamin form is effective.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving forward, we\u2019ll see more Vitamin D deficiencies for sure,\u201d Arad says.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D has several benefits, including assisting bone density and immune system function, but its deficiency doesn\u2019t show any acute signs or symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wounds should heal better; the fracture should heal faster,\u201d says Horovitz.<\/p>\n

Since replenishing depleted levels of the vitamin is so easy, there are no health implications for people having stayed inside so long, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re probably more cabin fever and psychological effects than physical effects,\u201d he says.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
