The arrival of winter and the cold-humid climate may accentuate the bone pain: a concrete help to take care of is the Vitamin D and calcium, that play a fundamental role in tissues regeneration.

The Vitamin D, indeed, is essential for a correct mineralisation of bones and teeth during the growth and maintains adequate bone mass and integrity of enamel in the course of adult life. Furthermore, it helps to maintain normal levels of calcium in blood (equally fundamental for the bones and teeth formation), preventing it from dispersing into other body tissues, and contributes to the proper functioning of our immune system.

How to satisfy our need for this vitamin?

The first source is the sun rays, for this it is always recommended to take time out in the open in every season. It takes about 20-30 minutes of exposure per day without sunscreen – which inhibits the absorption of UV rays – for an adequate supply of this vitamin. The second source is diet: the Vitamin D, indeed, is found in many fish, in milky products and cod liver oil. But to face the lack of vitamin D, nutrition is not enough, we must resort to specific supplements.

The lack of vitamin D is a widespread problem, due to frequent sedentary habits involving long hours spent indoors, even in summer.

A vitamin D deficiency can be evaluated by a specialist through the blood analysis.
