Scientists warn about the danger of its lack for the body
In winter, due to lack of sunlight, many people become deficient in vitamin D, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones and the proper functioning of the neuromuscular system. With its insufficient content, pain develops in different parts of the body. Scientists gave simple advice on how to independently determine vitamin D deficiency.
About the main signs of vitamin D deficiency reports “MedicForum” citing a publication in the American Family Physician. According to American scientists, a deficiency of this vitamin can cause any pain in the bones.
In particular, experts say, this is strongly manifested by pressure on the sternum or lower leg. Experts advise pressing your thumb to these places and applying pressure. If at the same time there is obvious discomfort or pain, then this may indicate a deficiency of vitamin D in the body, the scientists noted.
Experts also clarify that with a lack of activated vitamin D, bone metabolism changes. According to experts, in this case, about 10% of calcium and 60% of phosphorus are absorbed, which negatively affects the health of the body.
