Boost your health with these vitamin D foods

The pandemic has made the importance of vitamin D known to us. A vital fat-soluble vitamin, it helps in the absorption of calcium. The duo together (vitamin D and calcium) builds stronger bones, prevents osteoporosis and the loss of bone density. This important nutrient also plays a major role in immune response and stalls obesity, cancer, fatigue, and diabetes.

Basking in the morning sun or early evening soft sunrays is best the way to benefit from this nutrient. Wear light clothes and don’t wear sunscreen. Avoid staying out too long as you may get sunburns. And, of course, follow the COVID-19 protocols!

Let’s talk FOOD

As it is not naturally present in many foods, here is our list to help you choose your source to get your share of Vitamin D.

The best sources include organ meat like liver, egg yolk, fatty fish, and fish oils. Fortified foods like cereals, milk, yogurt, branded wheat flour, and such lend their ‘D’ strength from this vitamin to you. Moreover, the fish lovers can enjoy their hilsa, mackerel, salmon, and tuna for the same.

As for vegetarians, they can have mushrooms and cod liver oil. Fortify mushrooms by leaving them in the sun for some time. Lastly, keep fit and reduce your smoking and drinking habits.
