But there are others that come for no apparent reason. A few twinges in the knee upon waking, a feeling of heaviness in the legs that doesn\u2019t respond to rest, a dull ache in the bones that comes and goes. Pains that aren\u2019t painful enough to warrant a trip to the doctor, but they don\u2019t disappear completely either. And over time, these become silent companions of everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If this sounds familiar, your body might be trying to tell you something: that it\u2019s lacking sunshine. Or, more precisely, vitamin D.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The vitamin that is produced with bare skin<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Vitamin D is a rarity in the world of nutrition. We don\u2019t just get it from food; our bodies can also produce it when our skin is exposed to sunlight. It is therefore the quintessential sunshine vitamin. And its role in bone health is as crucial as it is silent: without sufficient vitamin D, calcium is not properly absorbed, bones become more fragile, and muscles can ache for no apparent reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The body\u2019s ability to synthesize vitamin D decreases with age. Furthermore, many people spend more time indoors, constantly use sunscreen, or live for extended periods in dimly lit areas. The result is a widespread deficiency, affecting millions of people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, particularly those over 50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Diffuse bone pain, muscle weakness, and the feeling of tired legs for no reason can be signs that vitamin levels are insufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<h2><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">You can find more information\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><strong><span dir=\"auto\">on the next\u00a0<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0page .<!--nextpage--><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Natural sources: the sun and the table<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The most efficient way to absorb vitamin D is still through moderate sun exposure. About 15 or 20 minutes a day, on arms and legs, without sunscreen, at safe times (before 11 a.m. or after 4 p.m.), can be enough to maintain acceptable levels. But this isn\u2019t always possible, and that\u2019s where food comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Some foods are valuable allies: fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, or sardines; egg yolks; mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet light; and fortified dairy products. Combining them with calcium sources (broccoli, spinach, almonds) enhances their effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Recipe 1: Roasted sardines with spinach and orange salad<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">4 fresh, cleaned sardines<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">A handful of baby spinach<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">1 orange in wedges<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">almond slices<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Preparation:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<h2><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">You can find more information\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><strong><span dir=\"auto\">on the next\u00a0<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0page .<!--nextpage--><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Grill the sardines with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. In a bowl, combine the spinach with the orange segments and almonds. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve the sardines with the salad. This dish combines vitamin D (sardines), calcium (spinach, almonds), and vitamin C (orange), which helps strengthen bone collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Recipe 2: Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and queso fresco<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">2 eggs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">4 mushrooms, sliced<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">50 g crumbled cream cheese<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Olive oil, salt and parsley<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Preparation:<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Saut\u00e9 the mushrooms in a pan with oil until golden brown. Beat the eggs, pour them over the mushrooms, and stir until set. Top with the fresh cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Eggs provide vitamin D in the yolk, as do mushrooms (if exposed to UV light), and fresh cheese adds calcium without excess phosphorus.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Important instructions for proper use<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<h2><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">You can find more information\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><strong><span dir=\"auto\">on the next\u00a0<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" alt=\"\u2b07\ufe0f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2b07.svg\" \/><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0page .<!--nextpage--><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">First, if the pain in your legs and bones is persistent, you should see a doctor. A blood test can determine if and to what extent you have a vitamin D deficiency. Never self-medicate with high doses of vitamin D supplements without supervision, as they are fat-soluble and can accumulate in the body, which can be toxic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">When it comes to food, pay attention to variety and consistency. It\u2019s not about eating sardines every day, but about regularly including fatty fish, eggs, and dairy products in your diet. And remember: conventionally grown mushrooms and fungus are low in vitamin D unless they\u2019ve been treated with ultraviolet light. If possible, leave them in the sun for a while before cooking; studies suggest this increases their vitamin D content.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Finally, don\u2019t forget that magnesium is also important for activating vitamin D. It\u2019s found in nuts, seeds, and leafy green vegetables. A handful of almonds a day can be the small gesture that completes your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">A body that warns, an opportunity to listen to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Pain isn\u2019t always an enemy. Sometimes it\u2019s a messenger telling us something needs attention. In the case of vitamin D, heeding this message can be as simple as taking a morning walk, preparing scrambled eggs with mushrooms, or remembering that the body\u2014like plants\u2014needs its dose of sunshine. Listen to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are pains that can be explained: a fall, a blow, unusual exertion.
