vitamin D

Vitamin D is a hormone produced when sunlight hits your skin. It has lots of effects on the body from strengthening your bones and muscles to protect us against cancer.  The low of Vitamin D effects on all ages and all types of human; pregnant women should have her vitamin D levelled  to get pregnant or to save her baby because the lower her vitamin D ,the higher her risk to get pregnant or to lose the baby or  developing  more diabetes.
For the babies some of them are being born with lower bone mass and low calcium. Doctors should be measuring vitamin D levels in all pregnant women to make sure the baby and the mother are safe.
After what I read before I understood that vitamin D plays an important role in our body, so we can’t ignore it but we have to safe our body from all the risks .Am going to give a simple example about myself; am a girl I wear a scarf and all my body is covered so I can’t get plenty of vitamin D;   because am always covered but am taking vitamin D tablets and folic acid and am eating healthy food that helps aswell ,so am trying to protect myself from cancer and developing diabetes.
