Vitamin D deficiency a major problem

NOVEMBER 2 was Vitamin D Day, a day to create awareness about vitamin D deficiency. I have to admit that I was surprised to learn that we have a world-wide vitamin D deficiency problem and that we need a day to promote awareness.

For years we have been advised to stay out of the sun, to use sunscreen, to cover up, and advised not to go out in the midday sun as this was the hottest time and the easiest time to get burnt. I suppose it’s the usual, we take things to the extreme and go for total block out of the sun on our skin.
