I'm told that living in Alaska during winter that I should watch my vitamin D levels. I gather that most of us Alaskans do not get enough. Maybe I should get my levels checked. That said I suspect I get more than most because I do try and get outside every afternoon. And it is often sunny. I often don't wear a hat or gloves either - sometimes hiking up the mountain I even roll up my sleeves to cool off. I know that come spring my face and hands are tan while everyone else is Snow White. So how much vitamin D am I soaking up in the sunshine?
Yesterday in the sunshine I do know I got at least a couple nanograms worth! On the ski down I had a wipe out and just lay there in the sunshine looking at my skis. It was a pleasant moment in the warm sunshine. Patrick
