Isn’t it amazing how we have become such an indoor culture in so many ways. I am so grateful to move away from this. Kill your television!! We are in the process of euthanasia with ours.

The Obvious answer is that they need to make TV emit rays that encourage vitamin D creation by the body….LOL

Thanks for this post. My brother’s entire tv-addicted family has been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency and their doctor told them, uh-um, that it’s ‘completely normal’ in the north of the US. Yeah, if you never leave your house or eat well. It was frustrating to hear him pass it off as though it’s ok to sit inside all day since the weather is less-than-80 degrees.

I’ve started sitting outside in the sunshine for at least 15 minutes every day. It feels great and it’s the nicest way to get D (and an excuse to sun my cheeks).

Cod liver oil is an excellent source of Vitamin D. One tablespoon has 3 times the recommended daily value.
