PHYSICIAN FOCUS: The power of vitamin D
Another article on Vitamin D ----- I don't know if I am more aware of these articles on cloudy days, or on sunny days (like today in NC----the sky looks so pretty!). Click here to read the complete article...
Now i can get that Vitamin D deficiency can lead to Rickets, Osteomalacia, and Osteoporosis. People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Today, Many societies around the world wore more clothing over the centuries, further reducing skin exposure to sunlight. These changes have brought with them a significant reduction in the natural production of vitamin D and subsequent diseases.
