Think of fatigue not as an enemy, but as a personal health signal your body is sending you. A top doctor suggests that in many cases, this signal is a clear message: “I need more Vitamin D.”
According to the expert, fatigue is one of the most reliable—albeit subtle—indicators of a deficiency in this critical hormone. The body sends this signal because its cellular energy processes, which are regulated by Vitamin D, are running inefficiently.
Ignoring this signal is like hitting the snooze button on your body’s alarm clock. You might get a temporary reprieve, but the underlying problem doesn’t go away. Over time, other signals, like a weakened immune system, may join in.
Many people misinterpret the signal, assuming it means they need more coffee or more sleep. While those can help, they don’t address the specific nutritional request the body is making.
The best way to respond to this health signal is to give your body what it’s asking for. The physician’s advice is to get 10 to 30 minutes of midday sun. This directly answers the body’s call and can often turn off that persistent fatigue alarm.
