In my latest blog post, I delve into the relationship between rickets, a condition affecting bone development in children, and physical activity. I highlight the crucial role that regular exercise plays in promoting healthy bone growth and preventing rickets. I discuss how weight-bearing activities, like running and jumping, can help strengthen bones. I also emphasize the importance of a balanced diet rich in vitamin D and calcium. Ultimately, a combination of good nutrition and physical activity is key in maintaining bone health and preventing conditions like rickets.

In my latest study, I've looked into the economic impact of Rickets on our healthcare systems. It's clear that this preventable bone disease, largely caused by Vitamin D deficiency, imposes a significant financial burden. Not only are treatment costs high, but there are also indirect costs such as missed school or work days. Moreover, the long-term effects of the disease can lead to chronic illness, further straining healthcare resources. Preventative measures could reduce these costs significantly, highlighting the need for improved public health strategies.
