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.
Vitamin D is fat soluble and is stored in the blood and fat tissue. Vitamin D is absorbed better when taken with vitamin E. In summer months, 15 minutes of sun exposure to face, hands, and arms (without sunscreen) two to three times a week usually is enough and does not require supplementation.
