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.

Simple. Get it tested and adjust accordingly. One should be having blood work done every 180 days minimum.

two eggs give you about 80% of the required. I drink milk, eat beef, drink whole milk, eat a balanced diet including a salad every day. Cereal and milk has lotsa vitamins.

I get my blood checked every 30 years.

Well, the cops check it more often than that.

Same same menu. Only drink whole milk and water, and take D3 and several other vitamins. I think I will live until Dec 3rd so I will be 90.

Lots of people would probably avoid colds and flu if their Vit D levels were in line...but you need Vit K also.

I take a capsule each day, plus get some sunshine.

Happy birthday Jim!

Because of a health problem I have, I have to get my blood checked every three months. I have to take extra vitamins to keep everything in check.

“Throw away the broad brimmed hats, long sleeved shirts the parasols and the sunscreen and get in the sun for 10 minutes a day.”

tough to do during the winter in the rocky mountain states where HIGHS can be -23 degrees for two weeks in a row and there’s two feet of frozen snow on the ground ...
