hi Vidisha, nice post. do u know any vegetarian source of vit d which is easily available if yes please post. bye padma
Padma/Vidisha, I too would be glad to know some veg sources. But Padma, application of castor oil with coconut oil, slightly heated (warm), helps have a healthy scalp and shiny strong hair. Leave the oil overnight or for more than 30 mins and don't forget to wash it. Castor oil is quite smelly.
dear padma, standing under sunlight everday in morning before 8am for 10 min and after 4pm for 10min provides sufficient vit d for human body
Dear padma & lalitha, Vitamin D sources are 1)Sun Exposure (early morning time is good) And the food items are---->1. Egg, 1 whole (vitamin D is present in the yolk) 2. Milk, nonfat, reduced fat, and whole, 3.Cheese, Bye, Vidisha.....:2thumbsup:
