The human body’s uncanny ability to adapt to bad situations means that vitamin and mineral deficiencies sometimes go unnoticed for months, only raising their heads when you go to the doctor, or someone mentions it.
Vitamins and minerals help our cells and organs do their jobs, from keeping bones strong (calcium) to bolstering immunity (zinc).
So, it really makes no wonder a deficiency in some vitamins and minerals can have noticeable effects on our health.
The good news is that if you catch a deficiency, fixing it can be as simple as small diet or supplement changes to improve your levels, provided no illness or condition is sapping you of the ingredients your body requires.
When seasons change, our bodies must adapt. From shifting temperatures to daylight hours, pollen and circulating viruses, many factors impact immunity and health. Essential vitamins and minerals can help strengthen us. Vitamin D levels often drop in winter with less sun, so supplementing bolsters immunity. Likewise, vitamin C and zinc boost immune health to fight colds. Additionally, probiotics support healthy gut bacteria for overall wellness.
Staying hydrated matters, too. Hot summers, dry air, indoor heat - dehydration lurks across seasons. Remember to drink plenty - water, herbal tea, and soup broth all count. When seasons flux, care for immunity and hydrate. Your body will thank you.

Vitamin D is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin because our main source of it comes from the sun. It’s a fat soluble nutrient that plays an important role in immune function, bone health, blood pressure, keeping hormones healthy, brain and mood function. It’s essential, meaning the body can’t make it, and we need to get it though sun exposure, diet or supplement form.
There are very few foods that contain vitamin D and it is only present in small amounts in those foods making it harder to get the required amount through diet alone. During the winter months when there is less skin exposure to the sun supplementing with vitamin D becomes essen
