7.  Slow wound healing

Prolonged wound healing after injury or surgery may be another vitamin D deficiency symptom. In fact, a test-tube study found that vitamin D promotes the synthesis of chemicals required for creating new skin as part of the wound-healing process. Long story short, the sunshine vitamin deals with inflammation focusing on treating infections and healing wounds.

A meta-analysis of four studies discovered that low levels of this nutrient delayed certain stages of healing in persons who had dental surgery. Also, patients with diabetic foot ulcers who are also vitamin D deficient may have a hard time healing those wounds.

Still, further research is required to provide more evidence.

  1. what one needs is a good multivitamin as their are to many interactions but then the companies wouldn’t make so much money and since no one checks what’s in them you might be getting goat terds called smart pills. All symptoms noted are nonspecific requiring checking more than vitamin D.

    1. Great post and you posted on my birthday. Late afternoon nude sunbathing is also great. You are out of the midday sun and able to enjoy the sun’s rays on your skin. The sun is a great source of vitamin D.

  2. This is a main reason why I am a Naturist. A Naturist is one who practices nudism outdoors for the benefit of getting sunlight on the whole body as the sun is a natural source of vitamin D. To avoid sunburn and possible skin cancer, the best times are very early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Avoid the harmful rays of the midday sun.
    One nudist resort I go to allows me to be in the shade during the mid day where I also go swimming. As a precaution, I also use some sunscreen. Around 4:00 PM the sun has set enough where it is safe to sunbath nude and not get burned. Even better times are between 5 and 6:30 PM. Just enjoy the sun’s rays on your whole body. Your buttocks is the best place to get sun and much needed vitamin D.
