Top Foods with Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat soluble used by your body to build and maintain health bones. Calcium, the primary component of your bones is absorbed only when vitamin D is present. Your body also synthesizes vitamin D when you are exposed to direct sun ultraviolet light. Sources of vitamin D include fortified milk and cereal, cod liver oil, salmon, tuna, fortified orange juice, eggs and cheese. Vitamin D deficiencies can occur when daily intake is lower than recommended, when sun exposure is limited or when absorption of vitamin D through the digestive system is inadequate.
