Balancing Health and Work Load in college

by Kasey
(Memphis TN)


I am a 21 year old female in college. I am very active at my school and do a lot of traveling and performing with the group I sing with. A lot of the times it is very stressful trying to maintain a good gpa, school activities, financial aid worries as well as my health.

I just recently came home over the holidays to get my annual test done. I received the result from my blood test and turns out my Vitamin D level was 9.2 ng!!!

I am no scientist but I do know that it is extremely low especially considering the fact that I'm only 21 years old. How can I get my vitamin D levels normal?

With my busy schedule its hard to get the proper amount of rest and be as health conscious. Is there any good vital advice for college students? Is 5000 ng a day good amount considering my levels?

HelP!

Hi Kasey,

Well, it's great that you are recognizing this problem now before you end up with some diseases related to Vitamin d deficiency down the line. The Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency don't occur for years or decades- and I wish that ALL young people would get checked so that they can avoid these problems down the line.

So, to start with 5000 IU's is a good MAINTENANCE dose, but it would be likely to be more effective while still being safe to take 10,000 IU's per day for the next 3 months or so until you get another vitamin d level.

Then, while you are working on that, one of the best things that someone can take when they are unavoidably stressed out is to take Magnesium on a regular basis. Magnesium is used up during stressful times and it is an EXTREMELY powerful relaxant, so it can help to get you through these rough times without FEELING so stressed about it. Take a look at the Magnesium Dosage page to see how much you can safely take and how to know if you even need any at all! But I think that you will like magnesium so much to reduce the effects of stress that you'll be singing it's praises to friends.

While there are a THOUSAND things you can do, from meditation to eating right to simply making sure that you don't stay up late and get plenty of sleep, these are at least SUPER simple things that you can always do to help keep your stress under control.
