Are you "D"-pleated? This time of year is when people across the country begin experiencing low levels of vitamin D. Reporter Kate Schell tells us why it's important to get your daily dose of the sunshine vitamin. North Dakota winters are certainly not known for their warm temperatures and sunshine. (Kelly Fisher/MedCenter One, L.R.D) "They actually say that if you draw a line from Northern California to Boston and any state above that line are at risk for low levels of vitamin D from the sun. And it has to do with how high the sun. The sun is actually lower during those months so the rays cannot synthesize vitamin D in our skin like it does during the summer months." The off-months, like December, are when it's becoming most important for people to absorb extra vitamin D. Research has shown that Vitamin D plays a critical role in the human body. (Kelly Fisher/MedCenter One, L.R.D) "So bone health, immunity, muscular and nerve function, again helping your body use insulin, and preventing some forms of cancer also is the main function of vitamin D." Between the months of October and April, licensed dietician Kelly Fisher says it's important to find other sources of vitamin D since the sun won't cut it. She suggests altering your diet... to have foods containing vitamin d... like fatty fish, egg yolks and milk. (Kelly Fisher/MedCenter One, L.R.D) "You are probably going to want to still drink the milk and get the dairy sources, but probably take a supplement during that time too if your not out in the sun." The daily recommended dose of vitamin D is 800 international units. That would take around eight cups of milk per day. A simple blood test will let you know if your vitamin D levels are normal. With KX News, Im Kate Schell Kelly Fisher says people with darker skin need to be extra mindful of their vitamin D levels. They don't absorb the sun as well as people with lighter-skin, making their levels even lower. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KXMB CBS Bismarck North D]
