Sources of Vitamin D
Vitamin D can be found in many of the foods we eat, including:
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Cheese
- Egg yolks
- Fortified milk
Our bodies naturally produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight during the day. Many people today don’t spend enough time outside, which limits their sun exposure and affects their health.
Vitamin D Deficiency
In fact, Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide, affecting over one billion people. Vitamin D absorption from sunlight ranges from 50% to 90%, depending on where you live. The rest is provided through diet.
Other reasons for this widespread Vitamin D deficiency include:
- Living in a cloudy or rainy climate
- Dietary restrictions from drinking traditional milk
Health Benefits
Healthy levels of vitamin D provide many benefits. These include promoting heart health, supporting the cardiovascular system, boosting the immune system, and possibly improving mood. Healthy vitamin D levels can also contribute to a healthy aging process by supporting bone health and cognitive function.
In other words, getting enough vitamin D is critical for your general health and well-being at any age.
