<h2>Preventing Rickets</h2>
|
|
<p>The bones of a child with rickets are too soft and bend under the pressure
|
|
of body weight. Proper diet and adequate sunlight provide the vitamin D necessary
|
|
to build strong bones. Dr. Martha May Eliot’s work provided insight on
|
|
how to treat this disease.</p>
|
|
<p>Children's bones contain growth plates--areas of soft cartilage that lengthen
|
|
before being replaced by hard bone. With rickets, the bone's growth plate widens
|
|
as soft cartilage cells accumulate.</p>
