Vitamin D dropping...

My vitamin D levels have dropped from 31.1 to 26.7 between September 22nd and November 21st... Granted, during that period I wasn't able to spend much time in the sun due to the intense work of Fiestas de Octubre...  Now we're in a period when sunlight is NOT direct and clouds roll in just after midday...

I just read that magnesium levels may be connected with Vitamin D levels...

In order to obtain 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day, you must eat 366 grams of Red Snapper (Huachinango)

In order to obtain 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day, you must eat 436 grams of Pacific Mackerel...

In order to obtain 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day, you must eat 457 grams of Pampano.

In order to obtain 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per day, you must eat 314.7 grams of Rainbow Trout.

3 large eggs give you 120 IU of Vitamin D

3 large scrambled eggs give you 132 IU of Vitamin D

1 cup queso fresco gives you 134 IU of Vitamin D
