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.

Not only that, but a deficiency will help the development of hypertension of high amounts of sugar in the blood, in turn increasing the risks of having heart problems and diabetes.

But if you think only elderly people have problems, think again… Children can also suffer from a myriad of problems if they don’t get enough vitamin D. Small children are the perfect candidates to develop issues.

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.

The trouble these days is that children might spend a lot of the day sitting in front of the computer and TV screen without spending time outside. And then outside, they do not receive sunlight because of the high amounts of sunscreen mothers use.

Sunlight is NEEDED to get healthy levels of vitamin D in our bodies. However a lot of stress has been put on the harmful effects of the Sun.

Specialists recommend getting 15 minutes of sunlight each day to improve our health levels. Of course you have to take this responsibly. Do not wear sunscreen as it will hinder the action of sunlight. Supplements are available but they can easily lead to toxicity problems.

Like all things in life, sunlight is to be taken with moderation to reap all of its benefits.

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.
