SECRET # 43 Vitamin D

Don’t Fall into the Blues this Autumn My friends- please get your blood tested for Vitamin D Levels. Optimal levels for vitamin D should hover around 60. ng/dL . I take 2000IU’s per day. This is important throughout the winter along with your omega- fatty acids(2,000-4,000mg) Lets all keep our serotonin levels up along with minding your sugar intake(which can play nasty tricks on your immune system). Share your secrets!!
