Your blood tests show that your vitamin D level is borderline low. Vitamin D is important for healthy bones.

This is how you can increase your vitamin D levels:

• TABLETS

You can buy a daily tablet containing 800 to 1000 units (20 to 25 mcg) of vitamin D to take for life.

• SUNSHINE

Expose arms and face for 15 minutes twice daily from May to Sept.

• FOOD

Oily fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel)
Mushrooms, eggs, cereals, margarine
Milk, cheese and yoghurt daily for calcium.

Yours sincerely
