With my doctor, Was trying to get cholesterol down. My weight is 145 lbs 65" tall Total cholesterol in August was 181 and weight was 165. LDL is now "perfect" , LDL is 170. Doc would like me to get LDL to 70. With my doctor, have now zeroed in on my low Vit D ( also have hypothryroid and am on synthroid).

My doc wants me to get 2,000 units Vit D3 a day.Not possible to do this with walking in sun, do not get enough. Have looked at sunlamps do not want to sit too many hours under a lamp but will do, if it will do the trick. Eating more salmon and sardines. I alos see an ayurvedic doc who has a Vit D cream . Lastly, I can take suppleents.

What is your best suggestion on getting 2,000 units a day? I am 71 years old and ride my bike 4 miles a day, but now it is winter and I walk about 2-3 miles usuallyu every day.

Many Thanks,

Liz
