Today, I received my serological test results and I have positive antibodies for Covid19. It is good news but again like everything else with this virus, we still don’t know. One of the silver linings to the roller coaster we went through!!
Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins that plays a huge role in our bone health. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), the key benefit of vitamin D is that it helps keep a person’s bones, muscles, and nerves healthy. It also contributes to a healthy immune system.
Vitamin D is the only nutrient your body produces when exposed to sunlight. Unfortunately about 50 percent of the Worlds population is deficient. This is partly because people spend more time indoors, wear sunblock outside, and eat a Western diet low in good sources of this vitamin.
The foods that are high in this vitamin are not those we eat on a daily basis, so it’s important to try to eat some of these foods regularly.
I hardly eat any of the above foods except for yogurt and sometimes eggs, and unfortunately I am very deficient, so I have to take a supplement. Without Vitamin D, Calcium cannot be efficiently absorbed, thus making me at risk for osteoporosis.

- 1 Tbs maple syrup
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 2 Tbs soy sauce
