If you don’t get sun without sunscreen in the summer, you also get little Vitamin D.
Check your levels and supplement, if needed.
Except in he Southern hemisphere.
That’s the problem in Seattle; moms slather the kids up with 1000 sun screen and then winter comes and it’s cloudy for several months. Then they complain about how sick their kids always are.
Fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, soy milk, and cereals.
Beef liver.
Cheese.
Egg yolks.
I eat alot of them and take a daily multi vitamin and still had high prostate levels and had surgery.
This is true. My D3 level was 27 when I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer over five years ago. I now take enough D3 to keep it up around 85-90. It helps retard the progress of prostate cancer. So does Metformin.
Low Vitamin D is also related to depression. We have a ton of sunshine here in Colorado but I still give my husband extra D every morning. I didn’t know there was a connection to prostate cancer so - so much the better.
Saw good study linking high D levels with spontaneous remission of cancers.
Note sun drying shitaki mushrooms gills up create massive levels of natural vitamin d.
Also note taking D supplements uses up magnesium. If you are magnesium deficient can cause cramping.
Maximum safe dose tested stands at 170,000 units, but I would not take over 20k unless I had cancer.
I started annual physicals about 15+ years ago. Always had low Potassium levels, always border line low. Had my first colonoscopy at 55yo. Polyps were found and removed. At 58yo, colonoscopy and additional polyps. I’d had 8 consecutive years of colonoscopy exams and polyps, 3+ polyps/annual colonoscopy.
I’m blond haired and blue eyed, I’ve always loved being in the sun (vitamin D), and I only get sunburned after several hours of high intensity sun exposure.
This article puts many facts about me in perceptive. I’ve always been of the opinion that your body will tell you by various means, what the body needs and what the body doesn’t want. Case in point, is my wife has never liked seafood, but she is border line allergic to seafood. I say borderline bez she will and can eat scrimp coattail or lobster tail, but only occasionally has a reaction. And benadrily will clear up the reaction within 20 minutes.
So Thank You, Federal Government, for telling us for decades that one i.u. over 400 per day was going to kill us.
I believe low D is also implicated in female breast cancer. White privilege...
