Vitamin D Deficiency and Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis:

Osteoporosis is a bone disease which causes our body to lose bone material, making then weak and brittle. People with osteoporosis have lesser bone mass. Therefore, due to weakened bones, even a minor fall can result in a fracture. In osteoporosis, new bones don’t form as much as old ones are being replaced. Women after menopause are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. People can form osteoporosis even due to poor diet. Calcium and Vitamin D deficiency plays a vital role in development of osteoporosis.

Some symptoms of osteoporosis include:

• Bones that break often
• Loss in height (due to bone loss)
• Back pain (due to fractured vertebra)

Benefits of vitamin D include healthy and strong teeth and bones. Unlike other vitamins (A, D, E & K), our body produces it when exposed to sun. Calcium is one of the major building blocks of our bones. And vitamin D plays an important role in helping your body absorb calcium.
