sunlight result - #21118

Agastya

I am really worried about these tests I just got back. For the past few months, I’ve been feeling super low on energy, like all the time, and my doctor suggested checking my vitamin levels. Well, the results came back, and it looks like my vitamin D is way lower than it should be. The doc said something about how that could be because I haven’t been getting enough sunlight, like actual sunlight result stuff. I've been working from home and barely get outside, especially since winter is creeping in. I know sunlight is important, but how much of a difference can it make? I mean, is it really just about getting more sunlight? I’ve tried taking supplements before, but wasn’t sure if they really worked or if the sunlight result is actually what I need to focus on? Are there better ways to soak in the little sunlight we do get, or should I just try to be outside more? Just feeling pretty overwhelmed by these numbers and looking for some real thoughts on this!
