Vitamin D Deficiency

By Stephen Gerrard

Having poor levels of vitamin in our bodies will lead to problems with the strength of bones, joint pain, weakness and fatigue. In elderly people this can easily lead to more problems.

It can also lead to the development of hypertension, high levels of sugar in the blood and increases highly the risks of suffering from diabetes and heart disease in turn.

Are elderly people the only ones affected? No, as you can see everyone can have diabetes and heart problems. But another group that are at higher risk are small children who don't get enough levels of this vitamin.

Small children and infants with a vitamin D deficiency will develop bowed legs, a condition known as rickets. They will also be prone to develop diabetes and obesity problems later in life. It is not their fault.

Nowadays it is very common to see a child in their house all day, sitting in front of the computer or the TV screen. Even if they go outside parents use a lot of sunscreen, hindering their ability to receive the benefits from sunlight, and of course, vitamin D.

I have read countless articles on the importance of sunscreen and harmful effects of the Sun, but we need sunlight to be healthy!

With only 15 minutes each day of sunlight, we will assure us and our kids good levels of this important vitamin. If you get sunlight at safe hours you won't need to use sunlight and will reap all the benefits of it. Supplements are available but are not the best option.

The idea is that we get sunlight with moderation, and smartly. Sunlight in excess - like many things - will be harmful.

Doctors will prefer that you get the needed vitamins through natural ways. If we have a healthy diet and lifestyle that promotes exercises and spending time outside we won't have to worry about vitamin problems in our life. - 17274
