It's as easy as opening the door and stepping outside, that is, if you live in California.
Just fifteen minutes of direct sunlight at least three times a week will help your body produce all the Vitamin D it needs. And we definitely need it, considering the fact that not one, not two, but five just-released studies found that Vitamin D has wide-ranging benefits , from keeping your bones and heart healthy to reducing the risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.
If you can't get consistent direct sunlight, consider taking a supplement. Experts agree that D3 is more easily absorbed by the body than regular Vitamin D. You can find D3 at any health store. I buy mine from Elliott's here in Sacramento. A 90 day supply is less than $10.00 You can also get a good dose of Vitamin D from salmon. Just be sure it's wild and not farmed (more on this topic in a future post).
