Many people don't know this, but vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays an essential role in the (good) functioning of the body. Unfortunately, many people don't have the recommended levels, which causes uncomfortable symptoms and can weaken the immune system, warns Michelle Hyman, a dietician, quoted in Better Homes and Gardens. 

There are two main sources of this vitamin. Which ones? Sunlight and certain foods, both of which can "be used by the liver and kidneys to produce the active form that our bodies need". In addition to this, there are multiple supplements, but they should be recommended by a specialist.
