Feeling tired all the time? It may not just be stress.
Most people in cities blame long working hours, traffic and sleep issues for tiredness. But across Gurgaon and West Delhi, doctors are noticing a very different reason — low Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels.
These two vitamins quietly affect energy, bones, nerves, memory and immunity. When they drop, the body gives small signals that many of us ignore.
Why are deficiencies rising in Gurgaon & West Delhi?
1. City lifestyle = Less sunlight
Many of us spend the day inside offices, cars, malls or homes. Without sunlight, the body cannot naturally make Vitamin D.
Even a short walk in the sun is becoming rare.
2. Pollution blocks healthy sunlight
Areas of West Delhi and parts of Gurgaon deal with high pollution, and this reduces the quality of UV rays needed to form Vitamin D.
3. Vegetarian diets and low B12
Most vegetarian foods do not naturally provide enough Vitamin B12.
Even people who eat healthy home-cooked food can become deficient.
4. Busy schedules
We get used to feeling tired, achy or foggy and ignore the symptoms until they start affecting daily life.
Common warning signs
Vitamin D deficiency
- Back, knee or joint pain
- Weak muscles
- Tiredness
- Low immunity
- Feeling low or irritable
Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Tingling or numbness in feet or hands
- Fatigue even after sleep
- Pale skin
- Forgetfulness or brain fog
- Sudden mood changes
If these symptoms stay for weeks, it’s better to get a simple blood test instead of guessing.
How doctors diagnose it
At True Hospitals in Gurgaon and West Delhi, a small blood sample can check both Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels.
Reports are quick, and doctors help you understand the results clearly — no stress, no confusion.
Treatment makes a big difference
For Vitamin D
- Supplements recommended by the doctor
- Short periods of safe sunlight in the morning or evening
- Adding milk, curd, paneer, eggs or fish to diet
For Vitamin B12
- Oral supplements or injections (depending on levels)
- Foods like dairy, paneer, eggs, fish or chicken
- Vegetarians may need regular supplements to maintain normal levels
Most people start feeling better within a few weeks once treatment begins.
Important: Please don’t start random supplements on your own.
Too much Vitamin D can harm the body. Always follow a doctor’s guidance.
