Signs that your body needs vitamin D and how to get it

10. You get sick frequently

Vitamin D is essential for the immune system.

If the supply of vitamin D is too low, the body’s ability to defend itself against pathogens decreases.

As a result, not only will you fall ill more frequently and be susceptible to all kinds of infections such as skin infections, flu or colds, but you also have a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis or psoriasis and atopic eczema.
