Vitamin D & Beating the winter blahs

     Beating the winter blahs is easier than one might think.  When sunlight isn't forthcoming, a bit of Vitamin D from food and supplements is necessary.  I've heard that Vitamin D is also supposed to squelch pain.  But, I haven't experienced this in any noticeable way with my own pain.
     Since Vitamin D isn't found naturally in a wide range of foods, one must look for foods that are fortified with it. 
    This is a fat-soluble vitamin, so be careful of taking too much.  Too much of it over time is one of the things that can cause constipation.  Fat soluble means that it is stored in adipose (fatty-tissues).
