Vitamins K and D

Get your vitamin D, even if it means 10-15 minutes out in the sun daily.

• My pericarditis diagnosis occurred shortly after that of my vitamin D deficiency. No surprise; such deficiency has been tied to cardiac disease and inflammation in general. 
• Years of slathering on sunscreen in Los Angeles might or might not have helped me evade skin cancer, but it certainly didn't help me absorb vitamin D. Be smart with your anti-skin cancer regimen. 
• Supplements help when good quality and when your body can absorb them. 
• Make sure you take Vitamin D supplements with Vitamin K. Dr. Mercola explains why.
• Vitamin D-rich foods are also helpful, except there may be clashes with your dietary preferences and, again, absorption may be an issue. 
• Vitamin D lamps are an option.
• The sun is free.
