Let me tell ya what I did. I did some research on this and found out that the morning sun delivers a great deal of Vitamin D. So's, I'd get up as the sun was risin' and go out and piddle in my garden. Still in my jimjams.
The sun does have a wonderful source of Vitamin D. But...once it gets hot...it causes problems to the rest of the body.
So's...I'd suggest...gettin' up early...goin' out in your jimjams and drinkin' your coffee and gettin' your dose of Vitamine D. It will be a hell of alot more pleasant than takin' some pills.
Good luck little lady.
Love ya,
Tasmoe

Not low on this vitamin, but I drink a lot of milk and always have. Also spend a lot of time outside and take a multiple vitamin daily (Centrum Silver).

Because of the fear of skin cancer and because so many people work and commute long hours, people these days are not getting as much Vitamin D from sunshine as they used to.
But sunshine is the natural way and if you get 15-30 minutes of bright, unfiltered sun, you should get enough.
Personally, I think most sunscreens are toxic. They make me blister and I never burn w/o sunscreen.
If you are concerned about skin cancer/wrinkles, etc., you can make a natural sunscreen by diluting Vitamin C powder.And that doesn't interfere with VIT D absorption!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
