As most of my friends and family have heard in the past week, I am not a fan of the autumn daylight savings time change. To me, "falling back" just means I never see the light of day. I leave for work in the dark and get home in the dark, and not to be Debbie Downer but around here it's usually raining too. Which means that many people in Seattle have a
vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sun exposure. One
study found that 75% of Americans are vitamin D deficient, which can lead to depression, flu, bone weakness and diabetes.
Thankfully, this deficiency is easy to combat by taking daily vitamins. I'm totally addicted to "
Sunny Gummies" which are packed with 1000 IU of vit D and taste like delicious sour lemon candy. Ch
eck them out, it's an easy way to combat the winter blues. D is also found naturally in some fish, fish liver oils, egg yolks and fortified dairy and grain products.
PS. This is not a sponsored post (I wish!) just a little tip on one of my current favorite things.

I've yet to find a fish oil that doesn't taste fishy. Let us know if you have a good one!
DeleteWhere did you get those?
ReplyDeleteI bought mine at the Madison Market but I think they sell them at Whole Foods too. I eat one every morning with my snack at work. :)
DeleteI bought them on Amazon. I have a hard time eating only one though...
DeleteHere you have talked about the importance of taking vitamin D then why you don't also try liposomal vitamin c. Because liposomal vitamins are covered with liposomes which helps to prevent the fast digestion of a vitamin in your body. When vitamins will stay longer in your body it can do different kind of good work for your health. Again everyone knows vitamin c is kind of a antioxidant which helps to prevent all kind of diseases.
