Definintely, dont' forget the sun...Hi Kathleen! Definintely, dont' forget the sun! Your body actually produces Vitamin D from sun exposure. Holick (from the Runner's World article) recommends "getting moderate sun exposure...about 10-15 minutes of sun 2-3 times a week from May to October between late morning and mid afternoon. Problem is, that other times of the year, you actually don't get enough from sun exposure. Also, "people that live in the northern part of the country, all of Canada and Europe where the sun's not strong enough to make Vitamin D, are more at risk for low levels of Vitmain D. Also, the skin has to be exposed, so if you're covered up and/or wear sunblock this cuts down in the amount of vitamin D."RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-228188481651642142009-11-02T00:22:03.915-05:002009-11-02T00:22:03.915-05:00Don't forget about the sun!Don't forget about the sun!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639309578283562929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-51724197100271338152009-11-01T22:48:55.366-05:002009-11-01T22:48:55.366-05:00Sure thing, Rookie on the Run!Sure thing, Rookie on the Run!RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-55738434653347636792009-11-01T22:27:03.275-05:002009-11-01T22:27:03.275-05:00Wow!
