Inadequate dietary intake is not the only reason for vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 deficiency. If you lack these vitamins, you should focus on finding the reason rather than trying to replenish the vitamins through food. Luke Coutinho, in his Facebook live, said that everybody must regularly check the levels of these vitamins in the body.
Lifestyle- The sedentary lifestyle, especially our eating and drinking habits, is one of the major reasons that our bodies lack vitamin D3 and B12. Lack of vitamin B12 and D3 increases the risk of Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease.
Aerated drinks- Aerated drinks, that are a part of our modern day lifestyle, depletes our body of vitamin D3 and B12. High consumption of soft drinks may relate to the deficiency of vitamin D3 and B12.
