Thanks for the tip about Vitamin K. No one has ever mentioned it to me. I'm a 78 year old sun goddess, but I have to take Prolia shots for low bone density. I also take Vitamin D with Calcium. I'll ask my doctor about K. Very interesting article.
I'm so glad you found the article interesting Jan! Vitamin K is often overlooked when it comes to bone health, but it plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism and bone strength. Since you're already taking Vitamin D and calcium, discussing Vitamin K with your doctor could be a great next step. Wishing you continued strength and wellness!
Vitamins D is so important to so many body functions. Of course the best way to get it is to have our body synthesized it from the sun. So getting outside without sunscreen for short period at a time is essential. Also a thing to remember is Vitamin D is made from cholesterol and when we lower our cholesterol levels, it will have a negative effect on our vitamin D levels. No cholesterol, no sun, no vitamin D.
Thank you Dr. Sara! Good to know about the Vit K! Never heard that before. If I may make a small suggestion about adding something to your article about Seasonal Affective D/O. Vit D3 makes a huge difference for people with depression in the winter months. I see it in my office all the time. Keep up the great work. I appreciate you!
I read that if you put your mushrooms outside in the sunlight before eating them- you will have increased their vitamin D content. I don’t know if cooking them changes the level that they absorb. I do it because I love the idea of it. Ill have to look into the stats on it!
