Pale people may need vitamin D supplements

Media_httpviewatdmtco_epick

We have been eating so many more greens lately, and we all feel better! We have always been somewhat of a veggie family anyway, but now we are making more of a concerted effort to fit even more fresh vegetables into our daily diets. I am convinced that's one of the biggest contributing factors to my grandma's old age and healthy state into her mid 90's. If it hadn't been for the post-polio syndrome that popped up and eventually claimed her life, I think she would have lived even longer and retained good health right to the end.

The science daily article is actually about how pale-skinned people may need vitamin D supplements because they might be unable to spend enough time in the sun to make sufficient vitamin D for their bodies needs.
