, it's important to take care of yourself. Ensuring you're still getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs, especially if you're lacking energy and not eating as healthy as you usually do, is essential. One vitamin you should be keeping in mind right now is vitamin D, especially with the lack of sunlight you're getting from inside the house. We talked to
, MD, assistant professor at NYU Langone Health, about what vitamin D does for you and whether or not you should consider taking a supplement.Why Do You Need Vitamin D? "Vitamin D is important because it helps regulate calcium levels and phosphate, and is important in bone mineralization — as well as other roles it serves in the body," Dr. Stevenson told POPSUGAR. It's the primary vitamin that helps keep your bones and teeth healthy, as well as your muscles.
Even on lockdown, you're likely still taking in enough sunlight through your windows, Dr. Stevenson explained. However, if you're concerned that there's just not enough light in your space — because your apartment sits in the shadow of a neighboring building, for example — it's worth having a conversation with your doctor. Older adults should also strongly consider a supplement because they need more vitamin D per day, according to Dr. Stevenson.
