Multifunctional vitamin
British professor Martin Hewison explained why the bone vitamin is important for the whole body, The Conversation reports. Vitamin D is produced when exposed to sunlight. In winter, there is less daylight, so the production of the vitamin decreases. Vitamin D can be obtained from oily fish in the diet. Salmon, mackerel and herring are rich in it. Nutritional supplements will also help fill the gap.
Professor Hewison noted that vitamin D protects against arthritis and sclerosis, improves immunity, makes bones stronger and prevents the development of heart disease. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and strengthens bone tissue. When deficient, muscle weakness can occur and bones become brittle. Vitamin D reduces the risk of developing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic scleroderma.
