You will require Vitamin D supplementation to increase this deficiency and to bring it to normal values. Food which are rich in vitamin D are:
- Fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
- Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, soy milk, and cereals.
- Beef liver.
- Cheese.
- Egg yolks.
Low levels of vitamin D and calcium can cause degeneration of bone, so kindly get the values corrected.
