Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 God created our bodies to make vitamin D in the skin with sun exposure, not take supplements. I nude sunbathe at noon for 20 min. front, 20 min. back, I take my kitchen timer out. I don't burn. I have a nice light tan. Know your own skin and sunbathe accordingly. I don't do this every day, maybe 4 times a week, my life's too full of commitments. UV-B is the cancer fighter, and it's at its highest mid-day. Actually UV-C is better, but almost all of it is filtered out by our atmosphere. If you get enough sun in the summer, it's stored in your fat cells. In the fall, winter, and early spring, I use my vitamin D sunlamp: http://summertan.com/vitamin_d_and_ultraviolet_light.htm I also eat a lot of fish year-round, and I read that shellfish also provide some vitamin D. And of course, milk has vitamin D thrown in, and it's in lots of other foods. I do occasionally take the vitamin D drops by Biotics, for insurance. The source is sheep's wool, believe it or not. By doing what I do, I don't risk over-dosing with supplements of D, which is very bad. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi Ellen, It's not that simple, sometimes. I live in Florida and still have a Vit. D problem. I think that for some of us, our skin might not be able to transform sunlight to Vit.
