Daylight savings time is here, whether you like it or not. That means more cold weather, less warm sun, and for some people, vitamin D deficiencies, which, like any vitamin deficiency, can cause a host of health problems.
This week, though, researchers completed a preliminary study on vitamin D and found that if you do happen to get enough of this essential vitamin, it not only reduces the risk of heart disease, but also helps you exercise more strenuously, while simultaneously exhibiting lower signs of exertion.
In layman's terms, vitamin D helps you exercise harder without becoming more tired, or even more simply, vitamin D turns you into Superman. How Vitamin D can turn you into Superman

The term is Daylight Saving(no s) Time and it is not here. It just ended.
Have you ever heard of anyone dying from a Vitamin D overdose? Although I am sure you have heard of plenty of people dying on prescription drugs. Vitamins overall are very safe.
Water solubles means it leaves your body in 3 hours.
Fat solubles can take up to 6 months.
The only vitamin you ever really need to worry about overdose is Vitamin A (NOT Vitamin A Beta Carotene which is water soluble).
So if you are taking COD Liver Oil, then it still would take a long time. Finally there are signs if you are overdosing.
If you take pills, then you are looking at about 10 to 30% absorption rate. For instance, if you have 1 Vitamin C pill that says its 1000mg. Then you will absorb between 100 to 300mg because the body has to break down the pill and you will lose some of the Vitamin C in the process.
Gel tablets are anywhere between 30 to 60% absorption.
Liquid is about a 90% absorption rate of whatever it says.
Finally, you want to go with organic vitamins vs. synthetic which is even less than organic.
There are good Organic liquid companies out there. You just have to look for them.
A cheap way to get healthy on a limited budget is to drink a cap of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar with a glass of water. Nature’s Way Coconut oil is really good to consume daily along with fish oil. You have to be careful with what coconut oil you buy. You just can’t buy anyone. Here is one of the 3 or 4 good brands. Good luck!
Nope...nothing's misspelled.Perhaps some Vitamin D would improve your vision! ;-)
And you didn’t take it at night, right ? :) Because Vitamin 5 can disrupt sleep by blocking melatonin. The dosage depends on body weight but it definitely needs to be a morning ritual.
“Go sit in the Sun, you will get all you need.”
What is this Sun you speak of? (growing moss on my north side in Washington State)
I’m of Scandinavian blood line. I just stick my arm out of the window for 30 seconds and I’m good for the day.
Could have fooled me, no time change, got up to 91 yesterday for a short spell late afternoon.
These days with my crappy skin, I wish there was a bit less sun, have to stay out of it much as I can. Too hot anyways.
It has been cold here of recent. I really enjoy the heat of the direct sun for about 40 minutes. It really helps.
Moonbeams... we have a governor that’s into that stuff. LOL
Take care.
Don’t get too much now...
If you are having prostate problems, you need to get a PSA check and DRE right away. There is a chance you MAY have prostate cancer. It affects 1 in 6 men sometime in their life.
Caught early, it is curable. If you doctor says it isn’t needed, you eed another doctor. If yu PSA is 2.5 or higher, you need to get it rechecked every three months, if it goes up to 3.0 or 3.5 within a year, you need a biopsy.
I speak from experience that you don’t want to take chances, and you sure as hell don’t want to follow the advice from your insurance company or doctor if they tell you different. Demand it.
Interesting. Thanks.
Not if you live in Seattle (and quite a few other places).
Living well North of the 49th parallel, during the winter, what is this ‘Sun’ you speak of?
Maybe this Blackstone guy lives in Australia.
Nope, because your terms are undefined, the limits involved are ineffective, and you're a concern troll who actually chooses to harm people's health to get your paycheck and please your political masters.
That used to be true. Read something on Monsanto.
Ha. Ok Tanning booth then.
Though I miss the salary I made working in a Calgary office tower, I don’t miss arriving at morning twilight and leaving after dark. In a rather junior position, I also had a desk with no access to a window, so I cannot even confirm that the sun appeared over the horizon in Calgary during the months of December and January, except on the week-ends!
As I drive a school bus now, I can confirm the sun DOES appear above the horizon EVRRYY DAY in December and January.
Pushin’ daisies?
