3-Year-Old Can't Walk Due to Vitamin D Deficiency 🌞

Vitamin D deficiency is a widespread issue, affecting millions of people worldwide. One of the main reasons is that modern lifestyles limit sun exposure, which is the body’s primary way of producing vitamin D. However, deficiency is even more common in darker-skinned individuals due to the way melanin affects vitamin D synthesis.

Limited Sun Exposure – Many people spend most of their time indoors, wear sunscreen, or live in regions with limited sunlight, reducing natural vitamin D production.
Geography and Climate – Those living in northern latitudes get less sunlight, especially in the winter, making it harder to maintain adequate vitamin D levels.
Dietary Gaps – Few foods naturally contain vitamin D, so those who don’t consume fortified foods, fatty fish, or supplements may struggle to get enough.
