just watching sky news and they are running an article on rickets and vitamin d. Seemingly I need a sunny holiday

[Nitro Express]

I take cod liver oil , but reading these about vitamin d it sounds like I should add that to the list in the morning .
But is that just doubling up ?

Your body produces Vitamin D3 when it's out in the sun but what people need to know it does this best with more exposed skin. So if you go out in the sun in your swim trunks for about a half hour you pretty much got your vitamin D3 for the day if it's sunny. I think what we are discovering is we aren't meant to be inside sitting at a desk all day. We were designed to be out and about moving around and doing physical stuff. When we don't do that our bodies suffer. It's almost like nature is going,"Hey idiots, get a clue." LOL! Really the average person needs about 800 IU of Vitamin D3 a day. You need Vitamin D3 to absorb calcium and the fish oil is good for your heart. I know up in Alaska where it's dark most the winter they make the school kids sit around a sun lamp so they produce vitamin D3 or they used to do it in the 1970's.

Weird thing is in the last couple of years all the advice due to skin cancers etc has been keep out the sun or keep covered up .

If you go out on a sunny day at noon in a swim suit, your body will produce around 20,000 IU of vitamin D3. The daily requirement is 800 IU. So that much sun is good for you. The problem is when you are in the sun for long periods of time without protection. If you are bundled up or have sun screen on all the time your body can't produce enough vitamin D3.

I mean sun lamps or tanning beds get a bad rap because they are misused or overused. The thing is, laying in a tanning bed to get your daily dose of Vitamin D3 is actually good for you.

Here you go. Now tanning beds are good for you now. LOL! I swear, the way the media takes things to extremes and the way the public buys it we really are a manic society.

We use A LOT of olive oil. That's where I get my vitamin D. We always have, it's a cultural thing. My grandparents made olive oil, so we had plenty :-)

There isn't any vitamin D in olive oil.

[ELVIS]

That is 100% true...

And all oils (olive included) inhibit the absorption of nutrients...

Happens with semen too.. Believe me, I know.

And Envy, your diet is causing your high platelet count...

Red foods like Tomatoes, plums, watermelons and cherries naturally boost platelets...

Also, foods high in Vitamin K help boost platelet count and include beet leaves, cabbage, kale, brussels sprouts, spinach and soy beans...

And BTW, I'll bet you eat a lot of soy...

There are many studies that link soy to malnutrition, digestive disorders, immune system compromise, thyroid dysfunction, infertility, and even cancer and heart disease...

Is that why you're malnourished ??

I think a blood test will reveal if you have a deficiency. I had a "borderline" deficiency, so 400mg a day is enough. You also need to get your dairy or calcium actually, otherwise even vitamin D won't help much...

Cod liver oil was one of the first supplements given actually, to kids that had rickets and that's why milk is fortified with vit. D in North America...

That's one of the reasons, yes.
