Good Article re: Vitamin D

There's a good article at cnn.com about Vitamin D - I found it interesting and thought others might as well.  Here's a link - happy reading.  http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/05/20/cl.vitamin .d/index.html  Kellie

Very interesting.  I think I should make a point of getting a little sun once or twice a week.  I am so fair, I burn easily, but I would think an extra 20 minutes twice a week might be worth it, especially since I didn't get a vitamin D level on the last round of blood work. 

Like you, I'm fair skinned, but my vitamin D level was the only thing that was low on my recent bloodwork.  So this article was pretty timely for me.  I found it particularly interesting that there are so few really good food sources of vitamin D.  I'm going to try to spend some more time in the sun, but will be adding a vitamin D supplement as well; with the information in the article, I know now what to look for - yeah!!!

Awsome article Kellie,

My Vit D was wooping 8 in my last blood work! ....I know my pictures may not show it but i am also very fair ....I tend to burn then peal then burn and its a vicious cycle all summer long so i have really layed on the sun block when ever i go outside...Maybe I need to try and let my self get a little sun ...I was told that tanning would maybe help, I have no patience to sit in a tanning bed lol  another good reason to get off my tushy and take a walk!  Thanks Estelle
