VITAMIN D<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Vitamin D is not only good for you, it\u2019s necessary. \u00a0Approximately 1000 IU of Vitamin D is needed daily in order to ensure sufficient Vitamin D. \u00a0This amount could also reduce your chances of certain cancers, osteoarthritis, depression, osteoporosis and heart disease.<\/p>\n

If you do not get your Vitamin D from the sun, a supplement or eating Vitamin D rich foods may do the trick. \u00a0This vitamin can readily be found in Vitamin D milk, fish (like sardines or salmon) and most red meats.<\/p>\n

On average, twenty minutes in the sun will give you 20,000 IU of Vitamin D. \u00a0That\u2019s 20 times the amount you need, so this is not an excuse to go bake in the sun for hours. \u00a0A few rays, however, will likely do you good.<\/p>\n

Importantly, remember that you\u2019re looking for Vitamin D3, not D2. \u00a0Also, don\u2019t forget that it needs to be ingested with fat in order to be absorbed by the body. \u00a0This means that\u00a0fortified orange juice isn\u2019t going to do the trick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
