**Vitamin D has always been important, as it aids in the absorption of calcium and helping to form and maintain strong bones.**

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin”, is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D and Calcium also work together to prevent many chronic diseases. New research suggests they even protect us against certain cancers.

It’s become more difficult to absorb vitamin D the traditional way as many of us are following our dermatologists and health agencies recommendations to cover up with UVA/UVB sunscreen. Fortunately the sun is not the only way to get vitamin D. Many people now rely on food sources are and if necessary, **supplements**.

Vitamin D occurs naturally in fatty fish, fish oils, and is routinely added to milk. Here is a list of some foods containing vitamin D.

- Cod liver oil
- Salmon
- Mackerel
- Tuna fish
- Sardines
- Fortified Milk, varying fat contents
- Fortified breakfast cereal
- Egg (Vitamin D is found in yolk)
- Liver and beef
- Some cheeses

Get out there and enjoy the Spring time sun safely and consult your physician for a suggested dose of this important vitamin.
