British researchers recommend vitamin D in winter to avoid osteoporosis

LONDON (Reuters) - Vitamin D supplements should be taken during winter to avoid osteoporosis, muscle diseases and rickets, a British government report said on Thursday.

People need 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily to avoid bone diseases such as rickets, according to a report by the government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition.

The Daily Mail reported on its official website: "This is the first time that guidelines for healthy adults refer to other than pregnant women and at-risk groups.

During spring and summer, the body gets vitamin D through the skin when exposed to sunlight, but in autumn and winter the weather is very cold, so you have to rely on a diet to get enough of that vitamin.

You can get vitamin D by eating red meat and lots of oily fish, but new directions published by public health today suggest that millions who do not eat enough of these foods should take supplements instead.British researchers recommend vitamin D in winter to avoid osteoporosis
