4. Infertility
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a leading cause of infertility and may be caused by a lack of Vitamin D. One telltale sign is acanthosis nigricans, or dark fuzzy sections developing on the surface of the skin. There was a study performed on women in the Northwest who were suffering from PCOS and acanthosis nigricans. They increased their consumption of vitamin D and soon many of the symptoms reversed. In many cases, the dark fuzzy patches disappeared.
Women who want to conceive should have a balanced diet, including plenty of exercises and eating a balanced diet including dairy products rich in Vitamin D. In addition, walking or playing tennis on a sunny day can help you get your supply of Vitamin D. If you have developed PCOS, consult your physician on the best steps to take and increase your Vitamin D consumption.
