I have recently done a Vitamin D3 test of a body and it was 11.2 even my wrist size is nearly 150 cm. Please suggest me a proper diet to increase my Vitamin D3 levels and should I take any nutritional supplements for this. Please tell me how much time should I spend in sunlight and playing.

Hi lybrate-user, It is quite common to have a Vitamin D deficiency. To recover from this it is important to have a balanced diet and take enough sunlight. Try spending 20 mins in sunlight everyday before 9 am. Earlier, the better. Also, have 2 whole eggs daily (I hope you are ok with eating eggs ). Eggs help in the synthesis of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is best obtained from medicines or injections as prescribed by a doctor. So, please consult a physician for the same. And wrist size is 150 cm. Are you sure?
