In yet another study that shows how important vitamin D is to your health, scientists have found that girls who were low on vitamin D were twice as likely to start menstruation as those without sufficient vitamin D. According to Science Daily, researchers said this is important for several reasons, including the fact that early menstruation is a risk factor for behavioral and psychosocial problems in teens, and that girls who have an earlier menarche appear to have an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases and cancer – particularly breast cancer – as adults.
