Abstract
Vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight and food enriched with Vitamin D. Vitamin D is the vitamin of sunlight and is very important for the prevention of rickets in children. It is important not only for the development of skeleton but also for life long maintenance of a healthy musculoskeletal system. Vitamin D provides maximum muscular power and is known to have preventive effects in type 1 diabetes, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, cardivascular heart disease and various cancers. In many studies, it has been suggested that vitamin D treatment decreases mortality especially in CRF (chronic renal failure) patients. Vast research has been carried out to establish strong relationship between Vitamin D serum levels, supplementation, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this review was to summarize current epidemiological and experimental evidence on the impact of Vitamin D on general health on people. Keywords: Vitamin D deficiency, diet, general health.
