3. Who goes outside anymore?

As your phone continues to replace everything that you once went outside for (banking, shopping, socializing, etc.) we as human beings are consistently losing out on vitamin D. The amount of vitamin D in our regular diet isn’t enough to support our needs, so it’s uber important for us to get outside and catch some rays. Certain times of the year, like the winter, it’s understandable to be vitamin D deficient because everyone’s inside keeping warm. The growing use of sunscreen also has an affect as well on this deficiency.

Your skin makes vitamin D and as you get older that production slows down. Older people also spend less time outside, so they’re doubly affected by low vitamin D levels. Does this explain why you have a grumpy grandpa?
