Foods with Vitamin D…

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because absorption in the body improves with exposure to the sun.

Most of us who live up north (and more and more in the south now, too) are deficient in vitamin D.

Best Vitamin D food Sources:

  • Egg yolks
  • Fatty fish
  • Liver
  • Grass-fed butter
  • Grass-fed cheese

Fatty fishes like codfish, mackerel, halibut and wild caught Alaskan or sockeye salmon are high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.

 

Liver is highly regarded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diets for nourishing the vision. Beef or chicken livers can be fried up with onions and garlic and eaten monthly or more often for those who fall into the Qi and Blood deficiency patterns. Check with your doctor or dietitian first if you have diet restrictions. 

Do you think you are deficient in vitamin D?

Are you tired?  Depressed?…

What You Can Do…

  • Get your vitamin d checked at least once per year! Your doctor will order the lab and you will give blood to test your level of d.

 

  • Those who live in the northern climates and others at risk for d deficiency, you may want to check your lab results in the summer as well as in the fall/winter.

                -Some find they need to take it year round. 

                -Some find they need to increase the dose over time, possibly due to age, health factors and geography.
