Medical Experts have urged people to develop the habit of eating food rich in Vitamin D for the benefit of healthy liver and kidney.


It has been discovered that lack of vitamin D could cause chronic liver or kidney disease. This is because vitamin D helps to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentration within the range that supports neuromuscular function.
Vitamin D deficiency is commonly noticed early in children than in adults. In children, it is called rickets, and in adults, it is called osteromalacia.
Osteromalacia is the softening of the bones caused by defective bone.
Vitamin `D’ could be gotten from substances such as vegetable oils, plant oil like soya oil, sunflower oil, groundnut oil, butter, egg yolk, cod liver oil, sardine, liver and few brands of margarine as well as sunlight.
There are also animal sources of Vitamin D such as Cow and Goat when boiled moderately.
Frying oil could lead to the loss of the vital ingredient; palm oil in its natural form contains many of vitamins like vitamins A, E and D.
Bleached oil could also affect the vitamin content by making it to become soap at a certain stage.
Vitamin D in children could be noticed if the physical development of the child was affected. It happens when a child that is supposed to be standing finds it difficult to do so at a particular stage of development and the child has no other physical disability.
This condition can be described as a high index deficiency and requires the screening of the person’s calcium to ascertain whether it is normal, if it is not normal it indicates lack of vitamin D.
