Did you know that it is hard to get #VitaminD from most foods? This is because we only have a small amount of Vitamin D rich foods to choose from unless they are fortified.
Most Americans are #deficient in Vitamin D.
Having healthy Vitamin D levels reduces the risk of many forms of cancer by up to 80%. About the same amount of people have undiagnosed #Magnesium Deficiencies as do those with Vitamin D Deficiencies. Unfortunately, testing blood levels is pretty much worthless because they can’t tell you if you really are magnesium deficient! Magnesium is stored in the bones, not in the blood.
Did you know that low levels of Vitamin D can also interfere with proper testosterone and estrogen production?
Why are we deficient?
• Not enough #sun exposure due to working/being indoors more
• Being told sun exposure is bad & overuse of sunscreen
• Showering immediately after sun exposure (can take up to 48 hrs to absorb into the bloodstream)
• Age. People over 50 don’t make as much & their kidneys don’t convert as much
#Natural sources of Vitamin D:
• Sunlight
• Cod Liver Oil
• Wild Caught Salmon or tuna • Raw Milk
• Pastured Eggs
• Mushrooms
