Balanced Diet: Include garlic for flavor and potential benefits, but do not replace prescribed treatments. c. Monitor Blood Sugar: Regular checks are important to assess the impact of dietary changes.

I'm experiencing some weird symptoms lately like fatigue, weakness, hair loss, tiredness, and leg pain at night, along with some muscle pain and a bit of depression. I came across something online that suggests these might be signs of vitamin D deficiency. Could that be true for me? If I want to check, is there a specific test I should go for? Also, since I'm a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, I'm curious how I can naturally boost my vitamin D levels through diet or exercise without resorting to medicine. How long would it typically take to see any changes if I start making adjustments?
