Vitamin D
If you find yourself catching cold all the time this winter it might be caused by low levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is resposnsible for balancing our immune health, especially, through regulation absorption of calcium. The most efficient way to vitamin D is spending time under the sun and that is why majority of people living not in a warm climate are subjects to the deficiency of vitamin D. There are foods rich in Vitamin D but usually, it does not contain enough to make a daily needed dosage.
