That was also Jackie Gleason's view. I think he died fairly early if memory serves.
and don't forget to max out all your credit just before you go. :-)

As for Vit D supplementation, you can start low (1000-2000 iu) for a month and take your blood work, and then up as needed. I know people who take 10,000 IU a day to keep normal levels. It depends on how well you absorb it in the gut. Also, don't take it on an a empty stomach, it's best absorbed through a meal with a lot of fat.

An hour a day in strong sun w/out sunscreen is too much. You will get old and wrinkley before your time.
coconut oil makes a mile factor X4 sunscreen and doesn't have all those chemicals.
