Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning. _Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:_ 1. _Sunlight exposure_: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production. 2. _Fatty fish_: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3. 3. _Fortified foods_: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice. 4. _Mushrooms_: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3. 5. _Egg yolks_: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3. _Supplements:_ If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements. _Target levels:_ Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL. _Monitor progress:_ Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.
