As toxic smog continues to cover Delhi and NCR, doctors are warning about a growing rise in Vitamin D Deficiency. Heavy air pollution and dense particulate matter can block UVB rays from sunlight, reducing the body’s ability to naturally produce vitamin D. Experts say this may affect bone strength, immunity, mood, and muscle health, especially among people with limited outdoor exposure.
Some doctors are recommending carefully monitored vitamin D supplementation during severe pollution periods. However, experts also caution against self-medication and excessive intake, which may lead to harmful side effects and toxicity.
