How much Vitamin D should I be taking daily?
I live in Washington State so I don't get a lot of sunshine. I also have Crohns Disease and have heard that Vitamin D can help with Crohns.
Why am I hearing such positive health benefits Vitamin D?
It seems like vitamin D is the vitamin dejoir lately. What gives? Is that not what we get from good ole Mother Nature's Sunshine?
Seniors, How about the new study that today's kids have a vitamin D deficiency?
Buy them Vitamin D supplements, or better yet, get them away from the computer, out of the house and into the sunshine.
Wow, there's a novel concept.
Help! My hair is falling out, it's dry and brittle and has no shine. I have curly hair, medium length.?
I'm very healthy, I eat mostly organic, take vitamins etc. I'm 48 with no signs of menopause. I'm energetic, my skin and nails are great. Over the last several months I've tried many different types of hair products, either professional products or from the health food store. Lately I just use organic shampoo and conditioner (no styling products) and I'm trying not to mess with my hair i.e. wash it or comb it too often. I only comb it in the shower with conditioner on it. I use no heat on my hair, only some sunshine.
Is this a good diet plan? It has nothing to do with weight loss.?
I am a 18 year old male, at 5'7.5 and about 165-170. I came down with mono for a while, got better, and then because of having to finish up my second semester of my senior year so I could graduate, I got sick again. I didn't get enough sleep and didn't eat enough. I was aware of this, so I ate a little more during the past couple months, but not as much as I thought. I was around 190 pounds before I got sick, most of the weight was muscle, but some of it was some extra fat.
1. I plan on eating 3000 calories a day from food alone over 4 or 5 meals.
2. I also plan to take this mega dose vitamin called clearvite once a day or one a day men's pro edge.
3. Drinking at least 85 fluid ounces of liquid a day.
-mostly water
-1 glass of orange juice
-1 glass of milk
-1 32 or 64 ounce bottle of Gatorade
- can include tea and lemonade
4. Go to bed no later than 10 pm.
Sorry I meant 1 20 or 32 ounce Gatorade.
What is up with people and ads on here? Get a freaking life and some sunshine. That never hurt either.
What are the issues if a person is diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency and is 29 yrs old ?
OK, I know about sunshine and also Vit D for good strong bones, but a 29 yr old friend was diagnosed and put on a rather expensive prescription for Vitamin D. What are the "problems" associated with low vitamin D beside the sun and bone issue ? THanks
