In this podcast, I want to talk about why so many kids are deficient in vitamin D.
Why kids are deficient in vitamin D:
1. They don’t spend as much time outside
2. Lower fat foods (2.5x less vitamin D than higher-fat foods)
3. Grain-fed meat / Farm-raised fish (both have low vitamin D)
4. Low magnesium in the diet (not enough vegetables)
5. Sugar (especially fructose)
6. Asthma and allergies
7. Fatty liver / Overweight / Insulin resistance
