Nearly 400 of these participants were accustomed to fasting for one day each month for at least five years, and their long-term life expectancy was much better than it was, and the death rate for those who fasted was 45% lower compared to others in a group Study .

The information / Baghdad ..

A recent study revealed a link between low levels of vitamin "D" in the body, and lower back pain.

And the new study warned of low levels of vitamin "D" in the blood, which may lead to bone problems, in addition to annoying lower back pain.

The study said that lower back pain is linked to a deficiency of a specific vitamin in the body, which is vitamin "D", in contrast to what is rumored for known causes, according to what was published by the British newspaper "Express".

Vitamin "D" is known as the "sun" vitamin. It helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are the nutrients necessary to maintain healthy bones, teeth and muscles.

A study found that vitamin D levels are associated with back pain in more than 9,000 elderly women, and that people who suffer from vitamin deficiency were more likely to have back pain.

Research experiments showed that vitamin D supplementation reduces back pain in adults who suffer from severe weight loss and obesity, and vitamin D is absorbed into the body through direct exposure to sunlight. However, some people do not get enough of the vitamin because they have very little or no exposure to sunlight.

In the same context, experts cautioned against taking a lot of vitamin D supplements over a long period of time, because it can cause the accumulation of too much calcium in the body, which is known as “hypercalcemia”, and this can weaken the bones and harm the kidneys and heart. 25
