Woman Breaks Bone in Bed Due to Vitamin D Deficiency
A woman who avoided sunlight broke a bone from simply rolling over in bed.
This was because she had very low vitamin D levels, which caused her bones to become weak.
Doctors found out she had a condition called osteoporosis.
Not getting enough vitamin D is the reason this happened.
This is due to her avoiding sun exposure which helps our body make vitamin D. This has led to a discussion on how much sun is healthy.
