VITAMIN D dificiency

 Vitamin D is an important micronutrient your body needs to stay healthy. It helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones. Vitamin D is necessary for keeping your immune system healthy. Researchers found that abdominal fat was associated with lower vitamin D levels in both men and women.

 Vitamin D deficiency- causes
 such as weight gain, muscle pain and weakness, bone pain, fatigue, hair loss, moods changes, depression, etc. Get a blood test done to find out whether you have low vitamin D levels. If your vitamin D levels are below normal, discuss your problems with your doctor and follow his/her treatment instructions. See if your treatment is helping you drop a few pounds.
 Take note that vitamin D cannot be used as a diet aid, but a deficiency of this micronutrient can cause excess fat, especially around the waist. So, increasing vitamin D levels can help you lose weight. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. 
The fact is that taking vitamin D alone won’t help if you continue to eat unhealthy and lead a sedentary life. Treatment along with lifestyle changes will not only improve your vitamin D levels and aid weight loss but will also boost your overall health.

vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning your body stores it in fat, hence, too much of it can be toxic. So, take only the prescribed dose. 

While sunlight is the best source of vitamin D, you can increase your vitamin D levels by taking vitamin-rich foods and supplements. Yet most doctors recommend taking a supplement or getting at least 5-30 minutes of daily sun exposure since only a few foods contain this vitamin. 

A 2011 study found that men who took vitamin D supplements for one year experienced greater increases in testosterone levels than those who took a placebo.

vitamin D could enhance weight loss by potentially reducing the formation of fat cells in the body. It can also increase the levels of serotonin and testosterone. Research has shown that serotonin - a neurotransmitter - may help increase satiety, which can decrease calorie intake and reduce body weight. Similarly, higher levels of testosterone - a hormone produced by the human body - have been linked to a lower body fat percentage and long-term weight loss.
