Vitamin D-eficient

Just got a call from my Nurse Practitioner. She wanted to go over some of my lab results and she found that I am really low in my Vitamin D levels. She said I was somewhere around 13 and she wanted me up around 50! So I have some work to do, and some supplements to take. I did a little research on Vitamin D and found a ton of information, and just how incredibly useful Vitamin D can be for our cancer fighting abilities and bone strength!

I heard Dr. Oz talk about this on Oprah one time, and my LPN echoed his sentiments that we should be outside with no sunscreen for about 10-15 min a day in the sun. Granted that doesn't happen a lot in Oregon, but it is time to make it my job!

How are your Vitamin D levels?
