Children who take vitamin D supplements may be less likely to develop type 1 diabetes later in life. The researchers found that children who were given additional vitamin D were about 30 percent less likely to develop type 1 diabetes than children who didn't receive vitamin D supplements. The evidence also indicated that the higher and more regular the dose of vitamin D, the lower the risk of developing diabetes. The findings were published online in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.

Wow. It amazes me how research keeps discovering the simplest of solutions. A right diet, sufficient sunlight and playtime for kids—simple, healthy living really goes a long way in good health. Life has become complicated for most of us. Sometimes we can’t help it so good nutrition takes a back seat. But knowing that good nutrition plays an important role more especially in the growing years of childhood, it is good to give kids supplements like Chewable Vitamins, containing Vitamin D and all the other essential vitamins for building strong, healthy bodies.. http://www.newvitality.com/shop/chewable-vitamins.aspx
