The Vitamin D Dilemma
I can't remember that last time I had a sun burn since I am vigilant about wearing sunscreen or staying in the shade. As a kid I got sun burned at the beginning of each summer then would just be tan. I don't really remember wearing sunscreen back then, but we also didn't wear seat belts. Now that I have to work at a real job, I spend most of my time under fluorescent lighting and my skin burns quite easily in the sun. I have a regimen where I can spend days baking myself, like I recently did in Jamaica, and not get burned. The outcome of all this diligence? I recently learned I have a severe vitamin D deficiency. The best source of vitamin D is sun light. If I take too many vitamin D supplements, it could be toxic. What's a girl to do???
