Are you in the dark about your vitamin D levels? Experts are shedding light on whether or not you might be lacking an important vitamin when the days get shorter.
Vitamin D is important for multiple bodily functions and is most responsible for helping the body absorb calcium, essential for strong and healthy bones, according to the National Institutes of Health. It also plays an important role in the immune system and the health of the body’s muscles and nerves.
The ways in which people get vitamin is from food, the sun, or supplements, according to Yale Medicine. However, 35% of Americans aren’t getting enough. “More than one in four adults in the US are deficient in vitamin D,” Arielle “Dani” Lebovitz, a Franklin, Tennessee-based registered pediatric dietician, food education expert and founder of the Kid Food Explorers told The Post.

Cops are checking it for something else.
I cannot. Sunlight kills vampires.
So the five things are?
People who rely on supplemental vitamin tabs pee out most of the D but a balanced diet works.
“I drink milk, eat beef, drink whole milk, eat a balanced diet including a salad every day.”
You are on Klaus Schwab’s list....
BLOAT....
A few hears ago my doctor told me to take a D3 supplement every day.
You’re killing me 😂 Made my evening!
(looks at you)
No....
(cocks head)
Not YET.....
I’m 80 years old. On “0” meds. 118 lbs. 5’3” (I shrunk), bp 120/65. I’m most fortunate.
Just to be totally straight forward:
“What does BLOAT stand for?
BLOAT stands for Buy Lots of Ammo Today”
Drink whole milk
Right. That’s where collards, kale, turnip greens, and other leafy greens come in handy. I eat them right out of our garden this time of year. I also freeze some to eat thru the winter. I’m 70, going on 19.
I look forward to 90, Lord willing.
I was just talking about this with my son earlier today.
vitamin d is a fat soluble vitamin, so it’s NOT “peed out” ...
I always have and always do. I particularly watch my protein but get it all naturally.
Join a nudist colony and get your D every weekend.
Works for me. And, you get to see all of your friends.
You will all get sunburned.... 😎
I am amazed how many articles about vitamin D are written like this is some sort of new discovery.
In the 1960’s my Grandmother would say “get some sunshine, it makes vitamins”.
