Seven out of 10 children...

Study indicates seven out of 10 children, young adults may be deficient in vitamin D.
Low vitamin D levels have been associated with high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels and lowering of the HDL which is the “good cholesterol” which put together put a child at future risk of cardiovascular disease. In a study published in the journal of pediatrics it was mentioned that youngsters are spending more time indoors (reducing sunshine levels (vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin)) and drinking less milk which is also another valuable source of vitamin D.
