Mozart Died Because He Didn’t Go Outside and Play
It’s a miserable, wet, cloudy, cold day outside the office. There is zero vitamin D coming my way from Sol. Time for supplements. After all, I don’t want to end up like Mozart.
What’s that, you say? Mozart died because of lack of sunlight? That’s at least the theory put forth by William B. Grant and Dr. Stephen Pilz of the Medical University of Graz. Mozart died of a vitamin D deficiency brought on by the fact that he was always in doors playing that infernal piano.
The story is more than a year old, but on a day such as this, it’s good to be reminded that a little extra vitamin D couldn’t hurt.
