View allI've just found out from my test results that I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Can you please help me out with what treatment or medicine I should be considering for this? I'm really unsure about what steps to take next.
Vitamin D deficiency is commonly treated with supplements, such as **Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)**, to help raise your levels. The dosage varies based on the severity of the deficiency, but typically ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily. Additionally, increasing sun exposure and consuming Vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy, and eggs can help. Always consult with your doctor for personalized recommendations.

I'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?
For thyroid patients, it is important to take medication on an empty stomach and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food or beverages. Therefore, it is recommended to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning with a glass of water, and then wait at least 30 minutes before drinking your hot lemon and honey water. This will ensure optimal absorption of the medication.
