In addition to the raw material for bone and teeth formation, vitamin D also serves to regulate the balance of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Vitamin D is also called a major contribution in maintaining immunity.
"Vitamin D is closely related to immunity, and if vitamin D levels are low, the body is susceptible to diseases," said Suzy Maria, a specialist in internal medicine, in Metro I-Care, Sunday, February 11, 2018.
Although the role of vitamin D is very important for the body, but most of Asia's living in the tropics less vitamin D intake due to fear of exposure to sunlight.
Whereas the largest contributor of vitamin D to the body comes from sunlight that can generally be enjoyed in the morning.
"It's a little bit of food, just from dairy products, seafood and eggs, not only milk but also in processed forms like cheese and yogurt," he said.
Suzy said, in fact, the fear of sunlight makes Asia's susceptible to vitamin D deficiency. The condition will be more severe if followed by certain diseases.
"Hence if there are people with symptomatic vitamin D should be supplied, but if it is healthy do not need to check the levels of vitamins," said Suzy.
Like any deficiency, excess vitamin D in the body is also called dangerous. High levels of calcium in the blood can cause a person to experience heart rhythm disturbances even until the loss of consciousness.
"Therefore, in people with high risk factors such as being elderly or having chronic illness or suffering from acute pain due to autoimmune and others, should check the routine," he concluded.
