Sunshine and Vitamin D
Recently, I read that it is impossible to produce vitamin D from sunshine in the winter if one lives north of Atlanta because the angle of the sun is too low for its ultraviolet B rays to penetrate the atmosphere! News to me. Since my Osteoporosis diagnosis, I've been taking daily Vitamin D supplements - 2000 IUs; it is supposed to help combat my osteoporosis.
Tucson is around 32.22 lattitude compared to Atlanta's 33.74 so don't know how much Vitamin D I'm generating from the Tucson sun but I try to work on my tan everyday:) And just to be safe, since my Osteoporosis diagnosis, I've been taking daily Vitamin D supplements - 2000 IUs; it is supposed to help combat my osteoporosis.
