You may need fat..: Vitamin d is a fat soluble vitamin, you may need fat in your diet. Cod liver oil is helpful, but ask your doctor about supplementing and dosage.

40 good: A level of 40 is considered a healthy level by every legitimate health care organization including the endocrine society and the institute of medicine. To keep it in a healthy range, try 15 to 30 minutes of sun a day exposure to your body, not face, and if that's not possible, either drink 4 cups of unsweetened almond milk or take 600 iu a day.
