Is Winter Draining Your Energy? Vitamin D Deficiency Peaks in December

As winter sets in and daylight hours shrink, many people notice a drop in their mood, energy, and overall motivation. While the holiday rush and colder weather may play a part, one of the most common contributors this time of year is Vitamin D deficiency.



December is a peak month for low Vitamin D levels, especially for individuals who spend most of their day indoors or live in areas with limited sunlight. At Wellness NOW, we want to help you understand why Vitamin D is so important and how you can feel your best this winter.

Why Vitamin D Drops in December

During winter, especially in December:

• Sunlight exposure decreases
• UV strength is too low for proper Vitamin D synthesis
• Colder weather keeps us indoors
• Work-from-home routines limit natural daylight
• Sunscreen use (still important!) blocks Vitamin D absorption
  

This makes Vitamin D deficiency extremely common even among otherwise healthy individuals.

How to Support Healthy Vitamin D Levels

1. Maximize Safe Sun Exposure

Even 10–20 minutes outdoors can help, but often not enough during winter months.

2. Nourish Your Body with Vitamin D-Rich Foods

Try incorporating:

• Salmon, sardines, or mackerel
• Egg yolks
• Mushrooms exposed to UV light
• Fortified foods (milk, cereals)
  

Most adults benefit from Vitamin D supplementation during winter, especially if they work indoors, have low energy, struggle with mood changes, or want to support their immune system.

If you’ve been feeling drained, fatigued, or not like yourself this December, it may be time to take a deeper look at your Vitamin D levels and your overall wellness.
