Vitamin D: Vegans and the sunshine vitamin
Rickets is caused mainly by a lack of vitamin D, but low calcium intake may also contribute. The main source of vitamin D is the exposing skin to sunlight when the sun is high enough in the sky.
If the shadow is much longer than you, the sun is not high enough. Clothing, sunscreen and glass windows prevent the passage of ultraviolet sunlight waves that produce both sunburn and vitamin D. Changes in skin tone (different amounts of melanin) have appeared due to the changing balance between avoiding sun damage and get vitamin D that has occurred to human established beyond Ecuador.
Vitamin D production increases with the area of skin exposed to sunlight. The ideal duration of exposure of the skin to get the benefits without causing unnecessary damage is one third of the time it could cause us burns. For people with white skin in UK ideal exposure time varies from five minutes at noon in the summer to about twenty minutes late autumn, while people with darker skin require a longer exposure time.

Diabetes
What is diabetes?
Diabetes occurs when the mechanism for converting glucose into energy no longer functions properly. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is needed to convert glucose into energy. If the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use insulin, diabetes appears. This causes abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood, leading to a variety of symptoms. High glucose levels for several years can damage parts of the body.
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes, usually diagnosed before 40 years of age, there is a complete or almost complete absence of insulin due to the destruction of the producing cells insulin. Insulin treatment is essential for survival and treatment is performed by insulin injections and diet. In type 2, the body still produces insulin but either does not produce enough or not working properly. Treatment can be only through diet or with diet and pills and sometimes also with insulin. In the past, type 2 was assumed that only affect people over 40 years, but is now even affecting younger people.
