Are you pale; do you have that winter look? well, don't forget your vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D3 significantly helps prevent disease including those involving blood sugar control and immunity and helps facilitate bone mineralization (to prevent softening of the bones).
You can get Vitamin D from salmon mackerel, tuna, eggs, sardines, shiitake mushrooms (less % but still good) Spring and summer are coming when you can let the sun create vitamin D on the surface of your skin. However, if you are someone who avoids the sun, supplementation is essential throughout the year. Just go on out and play for a healthier day. Oh, I've bribed the groundhog to give us an early spring, so you're all set. *The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for vitamin D is 4000 IU for adults. Given that it is a struggle for many people to reach the 600 IU RDA with foods, it appears very difficult to regularly go above the UL from diet alone. Using our top vitamin D food as an example, you'd have to eat just under 2 pounds of salmon per day to be at the UL. Similarly, you'd have to drink about 10 quarts of milk daily to approximate the UL. Needless to say, most people are not doing either of these things regularly. *see whfoods.com for more info
