It occurs to me that I'm probably not getting enough vitamin D.
First off I work indoors and it rains a lot here, so there's not a lot of outside time.
And even when it is sunny and I get out - I live below the hole in the ozone layer and I'm fair skinned. Meaning I cover up a lot to avoid skin cancer.
Think I'll get this checked out.
- thenerdhead 3y agoDefinitely worth checking out. I went from 20ng/ml to 50ng/ml within a year and noticed some mood stability and energy increases. Your mileage may vary. For what it is worth, I live in Texas and get plenty of sun each day(30+ minutes) but for some reason not enough showing on blood work.
- lumb63 3y agoIt’s possible you’re not getting enough precursors to allow for sunlight to greatly increase vitamin D production. How much fat do you eat in a day? Skin tone is an additional factor as well. Also, an aside, it’s humorous to me that you describe 30+ minutes a day as “plenty of sun”. By todays standards, definitely. But the natural state of humankind is “however many minutes there is sun” worth of sun per day.
