I recommend that people unable to get sufficient sun take one 2,000 IU vitamin D3 supplement each day, ideally with the largest meal of the day. In the northern hemisphere, below approximately 30° latitude, 15 minutes each day of midday sun on the forearms and face without sunblock should produce sufficient vitamin D for Caucasians under the age of 60. Those who have darker skin or who are older may require 30 minutes or more. Farther norther, at 40° latitude, the sun's rays are at such an angle during the months of November through February that vitamin D may not be produced. Above 50°, this "vitamin D winter" may extend for as long as 6 months of the year. [2015] - Michael Greger

How to Show Her You've Got "The Right Stuff": 1. Compliment something she's wearing, especially a piece of jewelry, and ask her where she bought it. 2.

Ask her about her job. 5. The most important overlooked turn-on for the 21st-century woman is alluding to a way you can help her professionally. 6. Ask her about her favorite restaurants. Then drop the names of some of yours. Go first-class here. 7. Listen very carefully to her as she speaks and, whatever subject she even touches on--even via a word here or there out of the blue about something, pick up on it and ask her about it. 8. Whatever subject you wind up discussing, quote something that you read about in Forbes, US News and World Report, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, or the Investor's Business Daily.  [2006] - Leil Lowndes
