VITAMIN D

A combination of supplements, healthy balanced diet, food fortification and unprotected exposure to sunlight can play a vital role in tackling deficiency. The philosophy has always been food first, but the issue here is
that only a small amount of vitamin D intake can be achieved through diet alone. If people are able to achieve their vitamin D intake through sunlight,that’s great. However living in the UK, the sun doesn’t produce strong
enough rays for vitamin D production between September and May.

“There is also the issue of the overuse of high factor sunscreens which block vitamin D production. All these factors mean other ways of getting vitamin D are often the only accessible option.

“Many people are suffering the effects of vitamin D deficiency. More than 5,000 trials were published on the subject of vitamin D in 2013,with more published every month. Trials which negatively report the effects
of vitamin D often use dosage levels inadequate for the weight of the subject.

I wanted to give people some ideas on what to do if they feel they may have the condition or have been diagnosed with it.

twitter

I have just signed up to Twitter which is quite interesting. Encourage to do this when I attended a meeting of SENSE.

So hope to tweet a bit



SENSE is the original network of professional nutrition consultants who work on a self employed basis.  It was established in 1996 and aims to help and promote self-help of all self employed or freelance nutritionists and/or those with interests in the general area of food and nutrition. Members have a wealth of skills and experience.Two meetings are held annually - Spring and Autumn.  Usually one of these meetings is held jointly with another related organization eg FDG (Freelance Dietitians' Group) or NII (Nutritionists in Industry).  Each meeting contains some element of 'enlightenment' i.e. discussion of topical nutrition issues, and some element of 'support' i.e. advice which is relevant to all those who are self-employed.
