If you avoid the sun, have a milk allergy or strictly follow a vegan diet, you may be suffering from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is produced by the body in response to the sun's exposure to the skin. It is also naturally present in several foods, including fish, fish liver oils and egg yolk, as well as dairy and fortified cereal products. Vitamin D is important for strengthening bones, as it helps the body to use calcium from the diet. Vitamin D deficiency has traditionally been associated with rickets, a condition in which bone tissue does not properly mineralize, resulting in soft bones and skeletal deformities. However, more and more studies show the importance of vitamin D for protection against many health problems.
