It was dound that such children have at least two per cent more body fat, as compared to kids whose mothers got enough Vitamin D during their pregnancy. Talking about the results, Vaia Lida Chatzi, Associate Professor of USC in the US said, "These increases may not seem like much, but we're not talking about older adults who have about 30 per cent body fat." She further added, "Even a half-inch increase in waist circumference is a big deal, especially if you project this fat surplus across their lifespan."
However, this not the only risk that Vitamin D deficiency poses. If you don't have enough of the 'sunshine vitamin' in your body, it can lead to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis and Type 1 diabetes. Although the best way to meet your body's Vitamin D requirements is getting enough sunshine, there are certain foods too, that can help you tide over the deficiency.
These are the best foods with Vitamin D:
1. Fatty fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel
2. Orange Juice
3. Eggs
4. Cod Liver Oil
5. Mushrooms
Among these, cod liver oil is the most efficient in tiding over Vitamin D deficiency, right next to sunlight which in itself is able to meet 95% of your body's Vitamin D requirement.
