:xercise, and sleep well.
Yeah I agree I dont think it is right to take that much amount to be honest.
I will try to get it from outside, but the whether for the most 2-3 months was aweful, very cold and I cant stand the cold anymore, I get extra cold other than anyone else.
I read this before, but you can still get Vitamin D made during cloudy weather, it just takes longer. The clouds if I remember correctly halve the UV energy (I need to re-verify this, but I think it's roughly accurate) that reaches your skin.
Perhaps much much smaller amounts of supplementation could help during those days. I believe it would be better than absolutely nothing at all.

:I'm a freeze baby myself. Sweatshirts up to 75. I will take 110 in Vegas and even in TX or Mexico all day long. I love laughing at my friends when they complain of heat.
Can you please use normal human metrics like Celsius ? this is why we can never get along

Your doctor made a suggestion of taking a lot of Vitamin D supplementation.
I'm just an IT guy, but I disagree with your doctor and here's why:

But I will say that you are correct here:
@Emad-R said in Low HDL Cholestrol
:... exercise and sun
and diet of course.
Why would sun matter if you don't think he should get more Vit D, or at least shouldn't get more from supplements?
I'll clarify what I meant by my post:
His Vitamin D levels are low. His doctor tells him to take high Vitamin D supplementation. I disagree with this, and think he should instead get his Vitamin D from the sun (which actually doesn't take long if you read the articles and studies), as well as eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well.
This of course assumes he has a normal skin response. Also some people just don’t have time to spend say 30 mins daily outside in the noon sun.
I’m sure there are many other benefits to being in the sun other that Vit D, but the time can be a real issue. I know right now I’m not going to with it being 15 or lower all week

LOL. My apologies. (In Celsius) Sweatshirt to 23.8, 43.3 in Vegas, Texas (higher humidity) or 38.3 in Mexico with humidity. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Oh also I forgot to tell you , i did wet cupping or hijamah recently, to improve blood cirulation
I understand it can freak ppl out, but I thought what the hell I want to try everything, the idea is that apparently we have filters or blood accumulation in the back, large of them, and donating blood helps and does similar effects but what this does is make them clot, and try to capture as much as possible toxin bloods , i liked it, the person and center was very clean and it is kinda in our tradition and religion. I heard Michael Phelps does the dry verison.

@Emad-R I often see UFC fighters with cupping marks on them when they get into the ring.

You obviously read zero of what I posted earlier... so meh.
If you read none of it, at least glance at this one.

Egg yolks and Cheese also have vitamin D. Not as much as fatty fish, but it can help.

also since I can't drink milk (because it makes me sick) I drink unsweetened coconut milk and that also has vitamin D.

Also, there is sunlight.

:Dude your more screwed than I, with 4.7 ratio, I am 4.3
You need to worry about Raising HDL and not lowering LDL. LDL is good to have in normal amount.
Consume olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil may be more healthful than processed olive oils. ...
Follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet. ...
Exercise regularly. ...
Stop smoking. ...
Lose weight. ...
Eat fatty fish often.
Avoid artificial trans fatsThat test was last year 5 weeks after I started my current exercise routine (6 days a week cardio kickboxing and strength training). I'll get another blood work panel at 1 year and see how things have changed.
Your listed diet has basically been my diet since July of 2018. I've never smoked - I'm an asthmatic - I hate smoking and smoke - don't really hate the smokers - but I do hate the fact that they smoke and pollute my air!
As for weight, I'm lighter and taller than you. 177.8 cm and 76.4 kg I've been machine measured at 12.5% body fat, and pitch tested at 11.4%.
The doc definitely said it's odd that my HDL is so low.. and the only suggestion he could make to fix it was drinking red wine. The oils were not mentioned.
I eat salmon 10-20 times a month (over lunch and dinners)... I'm pretty sure I'm getting covered there. That's been the case for more than a decade.

Interesting. 10 mins 2-3 times a week, as long as you're wearing short sleeves and shorts (likely sans socks). I read that sun exposure pushes Vit D levels 90,000+ IU with regular exposure. I'm not saying we need that much.. clearly, Carter's little liver pills showed that 400 IU a day cured scruvy...
