Default cholesterol, the sun, and Vit. D

I've read that PWP are deficient in both cholesterol and vitamin D....well, when the sun hits our skin, it uses the cholesterol in our body to make vitamin D. If we are low in cholesterol, we won't be able to make much vitamin D, and will be low in that, too.

Putting on sun screens may help keep you from burning, but it will also block the sun's rays that that your body needs to make vitamin D. We don't use sun screens for this reason. Instead, we go out in the morning or late afternoon, when the sun's rays are least damaging, and at other times, cover up with clothes (hat, long sleeves, pants, etc.) and limit the time in the sun as much as possible.

And we are eating a lot more eggs and butter these days
