I started taking Vit D3 last year after I read of a book about menopause by . I’ve also now lived here in Ōtepoti for three winters and I know how low our sun exposure gets during hibernation.
Having adequate vitD has been shown to improve absorption of calcium in the intestine, so it’s super important for maintaining strong bone density.
That’s good for when you get older and are more susceptible to falls-we want to keep those hips, ribs and vertebrae in one piece. It’s particularly important for women, but honestly anyone who is living in areas of low sun and is of a smaller stature (less weight on bone = less bone density). SO anyway, now I’m stocking it!
P.S don’t forget to build muscle with strength training 😘
