all my life iv had vitamin D deficiency

[staydeepandenjoy]

As someone who is always obsessed and worried consistently about how i can stay healthy , that wasn't the case when i was younger , but as soon as you start your family and have your first child , this is when it all started , i started doing monthly checkups on everything basically , cholesterol , vitamin levels , diabetes , all usually did make sense , however , i had this small problem , i had severe vitamin D deficiency , after reading a lot about it , iv came to many conclusion , as i had all the factors to keep my vitamin D very low , i was always overweight , my job kept me from going out and seeing the light , so sun was far away all week , except sometimes in the weekends , i have a light skin , and they told me this also is a factor , this was a nightmare for a while , but i did follow one advice i got after contently researching the subject

i quote "Be sure to map out your levels of vitamin D deficiency before trying any treatments, and get your levels checked after a couple of months on your new regime to make sure that you have increased your levels to a healthy amount. While exploring your vitamin D deficiency treatments, it is important to keep checking your levels even if you feel great, just to be certain.

The thing is , i always assumed that going to the pharmacy and getting supplements would do the trick , but that is not true , i apparently needed to handle each level of deficiency as a separate case , and that is what i had to do for a long period , untill i got it right

Have you talked to your doctor about which type of vit. D you need? Each person is different and needs to have either more or less than the next person.

Here in the states we don’t have ins for less than $750 a month nth unless we get Medicare which I will in April

That depends on the state you live in. I live in California and my wife gets her insurance with Kaiser for $125/mo. If you live in a "red state" that didn't go along with Obamacare, you're likely to have less competition so have to pay more.

I’ll check it out, yes, TX.

Most of the research into VitD shows a relationship of VitD to good health. However it does not show a causal relationship. Instead these observational studies show a correlation only.

So does taking VitD supplements actually help health outcomes is the real question. This is what ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/230... asks.

There is a serious argument that as your body returns to good health then along with that your VitD levels will normalise - naturally! So the real answer, I think, is to choose the foods you eat to improve your health, and so avoiding donuts that smell so irresistible could be a better lifestyle choice. Oh, and get 30 mins sunshine a day.
