Spring, sun, vitamin D and health  

Hi Jo, I´m taking calcium WITH vitamin D (it seems that one goes along with the other) for about a year. My rheumathologist gave it to me. Your friend nurse seems to be a lot brighter than your doctor, if you don´t mind my saying it.
It won´t hurt you to take a bit of sun in the morning though. Funny, you are such a close friend and I don´t know whether you are blonde, brunette or with polka dots in your skin
I´m a brunette. But you know because my avatar had a picture of me. Besides I think that I uploaded a VERY becoming picture that one of my friends took of me years ago.
HUG!

DADBURNIT, I JUST TYPED U a long response & it didn't go through. That just p.o.'s.'s me to no end. I'll try again. I don't mind what u say about my dr. , he is a jerk. I was giving u a description of myself, lol. No pougly mole on my forward polka dots, mousy brown hair w/gray, brown eyes, short & fat, big feet,ugly mole on my forward[ definitely not a beauty mark]m quick tempered, good hearted & mean as a junk yard dog.lol. Yoyur pictures are always becoming & i enjoy seeing them. I like to see pictures of people i talk to. hugs.

looks like i made a mess of this one, what i was trying to say no polka dots. Think i need to go back to bed,sorry about that.

I´d love you even if you were checkered!!!I´m tall, brunette, brown eyes. My hair is a wonder: all chemical. I can accept wrinkles as I haven´t married Bill Gates yet to have a plastic surgery Cher style yet, but I´d be completly white haired if I had let nature speak up. My father´s family has white hair (the men).

U are sweet, love u to. I figure i earned every gray hair i have & every wrinkle. If i was married to gates i still wouldn't have surgery. Some of the women on tv that have had it looked ridiculous. I think priscilla presley is a perfect example of what i'm talking about. She doesn't even resemble what she use to look like & she was a beautiful young girl. My bigmama lived to be 92 but her hair never turned white. she didn't want it to either, lol so i helped it along.

A physical barrier as a sunscreen is a good idea, I suppose. Besides some people need less sunscreens than others. I´m a brunette and don´t need as much sunscreen as blondes.
Can´t you plant a veggie with iron? If you don´t have a backyard, you can plant them in pots and make a special "home" for it. For instance, I have heard that it rains a lot in your country some seasons. You can protect a pot from too much rain and that way save the earth nutrients to be washed away.

Oh friend there is no deficiency in the plants containing any vitamins. It all the people who are taking only nutrient less foods and intestinal worms would be other reason for iron deficiency. Only when people would take care of their health this deficiency would be reduced. And I have no clear idea about blonde and the other? Will you tell me?

Blond people are more prone to skin cancer. Dark people have a tougher skin and have more melanin. That shelters skin from damage .
I know that your country has food problems. Let´s hope that food problems disappear in the future in our planet although I couln´t posibly imagine how ro end them.

Its not kinda food problems. The main problem is with the people. They are ignorant. What to take what not to take. Our people are blindly following western foods. Don't think I am criticising. It is true. But the food preparation and the contents used in our food has many antibiotic action for intestine and improve our immune system too when compared to western foods. I have no much idea about eastern countries food. I have heard that they too have many healthy food habits and many good customs too for the healthy life.

As in any place, there are food food and bad food. I only go once in a while (like once every two years) to a fast food chain, when I´m treating one of my grandkids. They have grown now, and they ask for better places now. I like to cook at home and my food is a well balanced diet with natural foods. Today, for instance, I´m making a mushroom risotto. Fresh mushrooms and fresh veggies. I love to cook and my friends and family gather here to dine with me.

You are having healthy food habits.
Have a good day.

It´s not scary if it´s managed by doctors. I have psoriasis and I´ve been prescribed ultraviolet rays many times. I always hope to get tanned, but it´s no spa. It´s just enough as to be medically used.

It said that you could put a sunscreen in the morning and go for a walk. The suncreen takes about 15 min to "soak" in your skin, the morning sun isn´t harsh and that´s enough.

I'm one of those pale people that "flash burn" (you remember flash bulbs? one blinding moment and they they turn all bubbly and used up?)

Sounds like my brothers skin. He is blond and I´m a brunette.

A bit of sunshine in thw morning is enough, as the article said. No need to get burned.

I´m sure that you get enough sun as to not have problems with vitamin D. In fact, I was amazed at how little of a daily allowance of vitamin D you can find in a glass of milk.
In my country, most of the people have no skin problems due to our race, but due to the hole in the ozone part just above us, we must use sunscreen too. Two years ago, I went to the beach and thought my skin colour would protect me. It didn´t and I had a couple of bad days just for being dumb.

oh, i know what you mean! it was summer in australia when i visited my sister. i wasn't used to wearing sunscreen every day so i got sunburn! from that day on, i would put sunscreen every day after my morning shower in case i or we need to go out. in my country, an umbrella is enough and provides better coverage.
