Does your child spend most of their day indoors? They might be missing out on something vital — Vitamin D. This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in building strong bones, boosting immunity, helping the body absorb calcium, and supporting overall growth and development. Some common signs of Vitamin D deficiency in children include fatigue, general weakness, frequent infections, muscle or bone pain, delayed growth, and even dental problems. Encourage your child to spend at least 15–30 minutes outdoors in natural sunlight every day. Include Vitamin D-rich foods in their diet, such as eggs, fortified milk, and fatty fish. If needed, consult your child's paediatrician about Vitamin D supplements to ensure they’re getting adequate levels.
