What is rickets?

Rickets is actually a vitamin deficiency disease. In fact, this phenomenon occurs in daily life. Although at the beginning, the patient himself does not cause more discomfort, it is just a bone development problem, but in fact it will affect our physical health. The main manifestations are rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. If it is serious, it will hinder the growth and development of children.

Rickets usually occurs in children, so parents should pay attention to this problem and pay attention to various nutritional supplements for their children in life, because the lack of these nutrients can easily lead to the occurrence of some diseases.

Vitamin D deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency is caused by insufficient sunlight (the skin can convert vitamin D precursors into effective vitamin D after exposure to ultraviolet rays), insufficient intake (milk, eggs, liver, fish and other foods), absorption disorders (small intestinal diseases) and increased requirements (children, pregnant women, nursing mothers), which leads to systemic calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders and bone changes.

Its prominent manifestations are rickets in children and osteomalacia and osteoporosis in adults, which simultaneously affect the functions of nerves, muscles, hematopoiesis, immunity and other tissues and organs, seriously affecting the growth and development of children.

The above is an introduction to rickets. Through understanding, we can see that this disease will actually seriously affect our bone development and will also cause harm to future growth. If it is very serious, it will lead to osteoporosis or osteomalacia.

In addition, the chicken's nerve function will be damaged.
