We already know that Vitamin D is very important for the correct growth of the human bones, and now a new research suggests that giving pregnant women vitamin D could mean their babies grow stronger bones in later life.
Babies who were in their mommies tummy during the research, were tested nine years later to see what exactly has happened with their bones.
The children of those mommies who lacked vitamin D had weaker bones, while mommies who took supplements or were exposed to more sunlight had children with greater bone densities.
The strange thing is no one has ever looked at the mother's vitamin D levels before, and this should be one of the important tests during pregnancy.

But there is one thing to be taken into consideration, women who had adequate vitamin D levels were fine, and it was only when levels were deficient that there was a problem. So, vitamin D supplements should never be taken by the pregnant mommy unless the doctor says so.
Maintaining bone health is important throughout life. Regular weight bearing exercise and a healthy balanced diet are all essential for keeping our skeletons strong as are stopping smoking and not drinking heavily.
As for the source of Vitamin D, Sun light, fish, dairy products and fortifies cereals are the best things to eat in order to get the recommended quantity for a healthy body.
