Even right now I am a bit twitchy as I ran out the day's string of stuff to do at around 2:30 (too late to start on the next string of stuff). I've been pottering around the house keeping busy since then.<BR/><BR/>If you think you are suffering from lack of sun, I recommend (from personal experience) supplementing your vitamin D intake. Vitamin D supplementation is somewhat controversial. The FDA has not established any recommended daily allowance. Vitamin D defecits are reported to be very common, especially in winter in darker climates. In addition, the body's ability to synthesize Vitamin D diminishes with age.<BR/>Vitamin D has two forms: D2 is synthesized by plants; D3 is synthesized by in the human skin as a result of exposure to sunlight.<BR/>Since Vitamin D is fat soluble, toxicity is possible in cases of prolonged excessive intake.<BR/>Getting a hadle on safe dosages is difficult. Studies have shown adult toxicity in cases of prolonged intake at levels of 100,000 IU (most vitamin supplements contain 200-500IU). <BR/>Typical regiems for "extra" vitamin D range from 1000-5000 IU of D3 (Cholecalciferol).<BR/>There is some evidence that D3 supplementation is more effectivve in treatment of SADD than light boxes. There is discussion about it being effective against depression, and body of theory/folklore suggesting that D3 helps with a wide variety of conditions.<BR/>A good reference on Vitamin D can be found here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vitamin-d/NS_patient-vitamind#31C3C81D-E7FF-0DBD-117D9B69FC052459Stu Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307685504238037394noreply@blogger.com
