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.

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.
Yup...a walk around the block is perfect.
I get my blood checked every 30 years.
Well, the cops check it more often than that.
This is very important.

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.
Congratulations, in advance!
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!
To ALL, let’s get this Freepathon over before Thanksgiving and double the contributions. Robinson family needs help due to health issues.
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.
And not paying attention to online health advice
“two eggs give you about 80% of the required.”
Not even.
“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 ...
Right. Like knowing your blood work. Terrible idea.
you’re right...looking at the IU
