alternatively increase your chocolate intake. I remember that being a viable option for vitamin D deficients that aren't overweight. Although there are limits to that i imagine^^

They add it into milk and stuff here to try combat it though.

I drink a bit of vit D fortified almond milk everyday but now I wonder if that's enough.

I pop a centrum tablet once every 2 days.

I shouldn't have vitamin D deficiency though, because I eat plenty of cod. In fact that is the very best source of Vitamin D in the world. I may have other unexpected deficiency, so I want to check up on it.

I fish a lot and thus eat a lot of fish but I'm probably still deficient seeing as the sun in Finland is basically enough for a couple of months only to aid in generating it in the body itself.

I only see sun a few hours on weekends. During the week I am at work during the sunny period. So I go to work when it's pitch dark and I come back from work when it is still somewhat light, but sun is already beyond the horizon.

Oh well, I know the blacks have an even bigger problem. You pretty much have to be a ginger to live here optimally

JoonasTo · « **Reply #9087 on:** November 24, 2013, 12:29:17 PM »

That's one of the reason neanderthals are actually presumed to have been mostly gingers.

I don't really get sun exposure during winter. On schooldays I don't have to go outside since my residence is connected to my college and on work days I wake up before the sun and I don't think the little bit of sun in the face I get while waiting the bus counts.

So basically, if I'm gonna get any vit D it's gonna be from what I eat. You know I wonder if they make utraviolet lamps that I could install in my room and get my vit D this way.

You live way south of scandinavian latitudes though, right?

Burkingam · « **Reply #9090 on:** November 24, 2013, 01:01:56 PM »

South of it yes, but way south of it no. Montreal is at about 45 degree north. That's still pretty far to the North.

edit: We have colder winder than Oslo.

JoonasTo · « **Reply #9091 on:** November 24, 2013, 01:13:25 PM »

45 is way south of scandianvia which's southern spot is somewhere around 55 or so.

Mate, 45 degrees latitude is smack dab in the middle between Paris and Rome. You don't get to complain about not getting any sun.

How often do you go outside to get a tan when it's -10 celcius?

Saras · « **Reply #9094 on:** November 24, 2013, 01:20:13 PM »

...Actually, quite frequently. When I work in the snow I tend to dress very lightly to not sweat.

Hey guys... It's about time that I leave BBT. I can't honestly say that I'll miss this place because I haven't made many (if any) friends here, but this is the end of the road for me.

Good luck to all of you.

Too bad you have had this impression. Good luck in your future endeavours.
