I'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with a vitamin D deficiency. Can you explain what kind of problems they might face because of this? Also, what treatments are usually recommended for someone to overcome this deficiency?

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to issues like weakened bones (osteoporosis), increased risk of fractures, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood changes, and impaired immune function; treatment typically involves supplements (1,000-2,000 IUday) and increased exposure to sunlight, as well as dietary changes to include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and mushrooms.

I've noticed the fat under my left underarm has been increasing and I ignored it at first but now it's making me concerned. I really don't want to go through surgery for this - what can I do to reduce it naturally?

Increased fat under the underarm can be due to localized fat accumulation, poor posture, or hormonal factors. You can try targeted exercises like arm circles, push-ups, and chest presses, along with overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular cardio. If it persists or grows rapidly, a clinical evaluation is advised to rule out any other causes.
