I'm wondering what exactly the difference is between beans, lentils, grains, nuts, and seeds. For example, what's the botanical difference between black beans, green lentils, rice, almonds, and sunflower seeds?
1 Always take your vitamin D supplements with or right after you have eaten a meal. The food in your system will help your body to process this nutrient.  It doesnât seem to matter what meal you take your supplement with. The time of day does not appear to affect your bodyâs ability to absorb vitamin D.
You need about 15-20 minutes of exposure on your face and arms to make adequate amounts of vitamin D during the summer. During the winter this would increase to 45 minutes to an hour! That is why vitamin D levels drop so drastically in the winter.
