1. You are more prone to frequent falls and fractures due to vit. D deficiency but at the same time you should not limit yourself to bed since prolonged recumbency can lead to loss of calcium from bones and prone to osteoporosis.

2. The most important source of vitamin D is sunlight (early morning and late evening)

3. In diet: take vitamin D fortified pineapple, yogurt,milk,dry mushroom,banana,cod liver oil,carrot,radish,tomato,cucumber,soybean.

PS. also take calcium rich diet since vitamin D is required for absorption of calcium.
