Many people do not realise that feeling tired, worn out or exhausted can be a symptom of a common illness. Lacking energy - especially during winter months - is not uncommon, but there is sometimes an actual reason behind it which is not just psychological.
It is currently Sun Awareness Week where plenty of emphasis is on people taking care with the harm, especially skin cancer, that can be caused by too much exposure to rays. But at the same time a lack of sunshine can lead to vitamin D deficiency which typically leads to people being tired and under the weather.
Similarly, by taking vitamin D tablets it can boost people’s resistance to common colds and boost their energy. Long-term vitamin D deficiency can reduce your ability to carry out day-to-day tasks and could make it dangerous for you to drive, the Mirror writes.
