In summer, in order to maintain fair skin, reduce exposure to the sun. Sunscreen, sunscreen clothes, sunshade umbrellas and even Facekini have become the necessary sets for beauty lovers to go out. Moderate sun protection is important, but it is also important to be careful that excessive sun protection can lead to vitamin D deficiency, and the accompanying health risks may exceed your imagination.

Bian Pingda, Director of the Second Department of Cadres at Wangjiangshan Hospital of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, stated that vitamin D should normally be above 30 nanograms per milliliter, and below 10 nanograms per milliliter is a serious deficiency. That person is 5.4 nanograms per milliliter.

The data introduced by Dr. Bian comes from a recent female patient who had a vitamin D content of 5.4 nanograms per milliliter. The patient works in an indoor shopping mall and, in order to maintain fair skin, must wear sunscreen every day regardless of season and weather. In addition, due to imbalanced daily nutrition, there is a serious lack of vitamin D, leading to bone softening and tooth pain that makes it difficult to chew.

"Vitamin D is produced when a 7-Dehydrocholesterol in the skin is converted into vitamin D after being exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sun. After sunscreen is used, it absorbs all the ultraviolet rays, so the skin will not produce vitamin D." Bian explained.

Nowadays, excessive sun protection has led to an increasing number of people suffering from vitamin D deficiency. A survey conducted in Shanghai targeting more than 20000 people showed that the proportion of people with vitamin D deficiency and deficiency is as high as 86.85%. The age group aged 18-29 has the highest vitamin D deficiency rate, with young women being the main group.

Bian Pingda said that many diseases are related to vitamin D deficiency, such as the most common osteomalacia, osteoporosis, diabetes, malignant tumors, and some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some mental diseases.

At present, there is no way to accurately self test for vitamin D deficiency. However, if there is toothache, inability to bite hard objects, and persistent soreness in the waist, hips, and buttocks, it is possible that there is a lack of vitamin D and further examination is needed at the hospital. You can consume more seafood, egg yolks, milk, etc. in your daily diet, and the most convenient way to supplement is to bask in the sun.

Foreign studies have shown that exposure to the sun for 20 minutes outdoors is equivalent to eating 100 egg yolks. When we expose our face and forearms, like in summer sunlight, it usually takes about 10 minutes to produce the necessary vitamin D in a day, "Dr. Bian suggested.
