We could all use a little extra vitamin D in the dead of winter. Some delicious D options...


If you’re suffering from cabin fever or the winter blues, you could probably use an extra dose of vitamin D...

With shorter days and more time spent indoors, the precious D we get from the sun can be in big demand right about now. Supplements are one option – but why not get some vitamin D the old fashioned way. Here are some tasty options:



• Salmon: Farmed salmon is fine but wild salmon has four times as much D.

• Eggs: The D is in the yolk.

• Coconut milk: It’s often fortified with D for a double dose of summer.

• Flounder: It’s a delicious white fish with about ¼ of your daily D.

• Mushrooms: The D content varies by variety. Shitake mushrooms are a good pick.

• Orange Juice: Check the label. Fortified orange juice can give you 34 percent of your D. 

• Sardines: Throw a few on your pizza or salad. Just two of these little guys deliver the D.
