Just this morning a friend of mine sent me an email regarding how our priorities change as we grow older. Especially when it comes to men. Sobriety was a much-desired quality, at least, for me.
There was not enough alcohol in the world especially even when we were more than done. Usually the time when the quietest fellow in the group hugs everyone and says that they love everyone – and then, begins to gently weep.
Beer and an assortment of liquors does that to you – but to some of us, that drama would turn into a nightmare especially if someone came back from work, pretty pissed off. The Millers, Coors and Budweisers pale in comparison to Asian & European beer – trust you me!
These days, in my thirties, the reformed douchebag in me, has moved into a "healthier place" – protein-rich breakfast, milk , regular workouts, B-complex pills and yes, even a better degree of hygiene that sits well with the fairer sex at any age. I'm trying, and should deserve some marks for that.
And no, I'm not doing these things to increase my chances of finding a soulmate but am just waking to the fact that being in the thirties requires a rehashing of one's priorities. Ones with long lasting consequences…
Trust me, you have to live in one extreme in order to appreciate the other… and it's a transition, I guess. And these three years have brought remarkable change in my life. Take for example, the inclusion of Vitamin D foods into my life…
Benefits of Vitamin D
When you look at the list of diseases that can spring up, thanks to a compromised immune system, you'll understand how important it is to get some sun and eat foods rich with Vitamin D .
If that's not enough, you'll have healthier bones and teeth while avoiding a serious drop in energy as well – that is probably required to meet the challenges of the day.
If you read this list of low Vitamin D symptoms , you'll probably appreciate the benefits that you can obtain when consuming Vitamin D foods and which will stand you in good stead in your old age.
Getting out in the sun also helps greatly, and if you're a telecommuting writer like me, you'll want to get out every once in a while!
So, what's the minimum daily intake of Vitamin D , you might ask?
Here's the list, and it's being outlined in details because one should ensure that they don't go over the top with it, in your quest for a healthier life.
1. Infants (0-6 months) – 25 micrograms
2. Infants (6-12 months) – 38 micrograms
3. Children (1 – 3 years) – 63 micrograms
4. Children (4-8 years) – 75 micrograms
5. children/ adolescents (9-18 years) – 100 micrograms
6. adults (19 years and above) – 100 micrograms
7. pregnant and lactating women – 100 micrograms
And so, let's look at the foods that will help you get this daily intake…
Vitamin D Foods – A List
Just remember that this list is not an exhaustive one… but a useful one all the same, and so here it is:
1. Cod liver oil
2. Margarine
3. Fortified butter
4. Fish such as Herring, Kippers, Salmon, Mackerel, Pilchard, Sardines, Tuna and Roe
5. Shrimp (boiled or steamed)
6. Cow's milk
7. Eggs (whole or boiled)
In Closing
Am not being preachy about this whole health upkeep business. Understanding your priorities and truly loving yourself will lead you to doing this anyways.
