Many people experience a dip in the autumn and winter due to a vitamin deficiency. In particular, a deficiency of vitamin D. Although vitamin D is also processed in certain foods, the body mainly makes it itself through sunlight. Unfortunately, the sun in the Netherlands is too low during the autumn and winter. As a result, you will not make enough vitamin D even on a sunny day. In addition, it is more often cloudy than sunny on these days. This, in combination with going outside less, is disastrous for your vitamin D level. With all its consequences. That is why it is good to take extra vitamin supplements in addition to a healthy diet. This is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but can contribute to a better vitamin content.

Your body is not made for lazing around all day. You also notice this when you really do nothing for a whole weekend. You often feel more tired than when you've had a busy day. So go out and enjoy it. This way you feel better in your own skin!
