Failing Grade: D

Last week I went for a routine physical. Today I get a letter telling me that my vitamin D level was 32; normal range according to the NOVA Medical Group is 60-100. Hmmm... not sure what to think because according to this NIH page, normal levels are between 16-74. I'm not a numbers person, but that's quite a difference don't ya think?

Whatever the normal range is and where I fall in that range, vitamin D deficiency could be due to lack of exposure to sunlight. I interpret this as I should go to the beach immediately. It's better for me to be safe than sorry when it comes to my health. Hawaii anyone?
