Winter Sun Ultra Vitamin D3 review

Winter Sun Ultra Vitamin D3
Winter Sun Ultra Vitamin D3

If you are young and spend some time in the sun every day you probably don’t need a vitamin D supplement.  In some colder areas of the country where folks spend the winter indoors, it’s not uncommon for them to not spend enough time in sunlight to manufacture enough Vitamin D on their own.  There are people with skin issues or cancer concerns that avoid sunlight, and might also have issues.  This is a way to ensure your body gets enough Vitamin D by taking a small dropper full each day.

Winter Sun from Infowars Life contains the easier than D2 to absorb D3 which for this product was extracted from lichens, a kind of nutrient dense plant.  It tastes kind of sweet to me, and I would say it’s a pleasant taste.  Your body needs vitamin D for lots of purposes and in addition to lack of sun exposure, aging is another contributor to not having enough.

I just noticed that I’ve got about 1 more days worth left in the bottle I bought a little while ago.  One of the drawbacks to taking multiple supplements at the same time is that it can be difficult to tell if the addition of any one of them makes a difference in your health.  I can’t say that I noticed a difference during the time I have been taking Winter Sun.

It’s not really that cold here in Florida and I should be spending more time outside in the coming months, so I am going to hold off on ordering another bottle for now.  I’m going to make a point of trying to get an hour outside in the sun as many days as I can and let my body make some vitamin D on it’s own.  For folks that can’t do that, you may want to read up on vitamin D and consult with your healthcare provider to see if a supplement like Winter Sun might be good for you.

Devour Frozen Foods Review

I tried out some of the frozen foods from Devour that I saw at my local grocer and here are my thoughts about the ones I tried.

Lasagna Alfredo with Bacon and Sausage

I’m used to eating lasagna with a red meat sauce, so this was a nice switch up.  The flavors of the Applewood Smoked Bacon and Italian Sausage went well with the creamy alfredo sauce.  570 calories with 330 coming from fat was delicious.  This is a single serving sized container but nothing says that you have to eat all of it at the same time.  I found it to be rich and good.  I would buy it again.

Angus Beef with Cornbread

This was my favorite of the three Devour foods that I tried.  The beef was covered with a sweet and smokey sauce.  The cornbread was made with jalapenos and had a nice and spicy flavor.  It had 750 calories with 310 coming from fat.  I actually wished that the serving size was twice as much, that’s how tasty it was.  If I see it in the store again, I’m buying more than one of these again.

White Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Bacon

This was good but it was also the one out of three that I tried that I liked the least.  It’s not that it tasted bad, it just wasn’t as good as the other two.  It was cheesy and the bacon taste was nice.  If Bacon Mac & Cheese is your thing, you should still give it a try.

The product page at Devour shows many more in addition to the ones I bought at Publix, and I hope to be able to try the others at some time and review them as well.  Happy eating!

My favorite Girl Scout Cookies

My favorite Girl Scout cookies are Thin Mints.  I place them into the freezer and later when I take some out to eat, they are very cool.  If I were to only buy 1 box then this is what I would choose.

The shortbread cookies are my second favorite Girl Scout cookie variety.  I decided to try some of the Thanks A Lot cookies which are shortbread but have a layer of chocolate at the bottom.  They were pretty good as I expected them to be.

Girl Scout Peanut Butter Patties

My third most favorite is the Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies.  These can be sort of dry sometimes, so I tend to only eat one or two at a time, and that’s a good thing.

I’d place the Peanut Butter Patties as my fourth favorite.  I wrote about them in this post.
