This is pretty significant considering how important Vitamin D is for bone health, mood, and general mental health. Thanks for posting the research on this!

Thanks for sharing your insider’s P.O.V., Anne.

re: Vitamin D

I couldn’t agree more. BTW, my parents have requested that their doctor (a general practitioner) include a Vitamin B12 and D test along with their yearly physical exam. So far, the doctor has been willing to do so. The tests have been covered by their insurance and the results have helped to guide us in selecting an appropriate level of B12 & D (to supplement with).

Be well!

Some of my Hospice patients lose sub q fat – the Nurse measures the circumference of the forearm to differentiate between sub q and adipose loss.
The Vit D deficiency – “what if” there are people who are chronically mis-diagnosed (or at least mis-understood) who have underlying issues as simple as this… or maybe blood sugar spikes (instead of being pathologically psych) It couldn’t hurt anyone to get a wee bit more healthy, eh?
And think of all the things it might help change.

Anne,

Thanks!

I believe that it would. To the best of my knowledge, cellulite is generally classified as a form of subcutaneous fat – even though it’s appearance is influenced by connective tissue as well.

Be well!

Sub Q obesity – does that include cellulite?
Another great and thought-provoking article, JP!
