My doctor prefers I not get my Vitamin D from supplements, but from the sun, or barring that, a sunlamp.

Does your doctor test your level?

Getting it from the sun is the best. In Việt Nam COVID was hyped as a terrible disaster by the government but in reality it was pretty sparse and seems to have been mostly limited to women who still cover up completely outside and never get sunshine on their skin.

It still is true that in a declining number of families girl children hear from the day they are born, "Don't let the sun touch your skin or you will turn black and never get a husband." I have educated my friends who now make it a point to go outside bare armed every day. It used to be that cold and flu were regarded as Women's maladies because men did not get those things. Men work a lot outside and wear big hats but otherwise expose legs and arms.

In the last ten years young women and some older women have been wearing western fashions and exposing legs and arms etc to the sun, and the incidence of colds and flu has declined a lot.

That' why I sit outside in the sun most days for about 20 minutes with my shirt off. Good time to listen to my audio books.
