How to Get Enough Vitamin D: 6 Effective Ways

How to Get Enough Vitamin D: 6 Effective Ways

December 08, 2020

Vitamin D is a vital nutrient that your body needs to build and maintain healthy bones and perform other essential processes. Unfortunately, vitamin D deficiency is a growing concern among healthcare professionals, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that 13% of the world’s population is affected by it.

Without an adequate vitamin D intake, adults and children can experience several health concerns, including rickets in children and osteopenia and osteoporosis in adults. A vitamin D deficiency can also increase the risk of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and common cancers.

Vitamin D: The “Sunshine” Vitamin

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids the body in calcium absorption and promotes bones’ growth and mineralization. It’s also vital in helping your muscles move, nerves send messages, and the immune system in fighting bacteria and viruses.

How to Get Enough Vitamin D 

  • Get Lots of Sunlight. One of the best ways to get vitamin D is through the sun. Your skin contains a type of cholesterol that, when exposed to the sun’s UV rays, becomes vitamin D. However, sunlight isn’t always the most reliable source since your ability to be outside can depend on the time of the year. If you live in a climate that experiences cold winters or cloudy days, you may spend days indoors out of the sunlight.

 Studies show that getting ten to 30 minutes of midday sunlight exposure three times a week should provide sufficient vitamin D. Keep in mind that people with darker skin tones may need more sunlight exposure than lighter skin tones to get enough vitamin D.

  • Eat Fatty Fish and Seafood. Seafood and fatty fish are among the highest natural food sources for vitamin D. Some of the kinds of fish and seafood containing high amounts of vitamin D are:
    • Salmon (particularly wild-caught)
    • Tuna
    • Mackerel
    • Oysters
    • Shrimp
    • Sardines
    • Anchovies

Consider adding some of the fish and seafood to your diet to help supplement your vitamin D levels.

  • Include Mushrooms in Your Diet. Mushrooms are the only wholly plant-based source for vitamin D. Mushrooms produce vitamin D in the same way humans make vitamin D – by exposure to UV light. The amount of vitamin D will vary depending on the type of mushroom. For example, wild mushrooms tend to contain more vitamin D than commercially grown mushrooms because of the higher exposure to sunlight.
  • Add Egg Yolks to Your Diet. Egg yolks contain a fair amount of vitamin D and are easy to add to your diet. Like other natural food sources, the content of vitamin D is variable depending on how the animals are raised. Some research indicates that free-range or pasture-raised chickens contain up to four times more vitamin D than conventionally raised chickens.
  • Eat Fortified Foods. Because few foods contain a high amount of vitamin D, this nutrient is often added to foods through a process known as fortification. Some examples of commonly fortified foods are:
    • Cow’s milk
    • Soy, almond, and hemp milk
    • Orange juice
    • Cereal
    • Some kinds of yogurt
    • Tofu
  • Take a Supplement. One of the most common ways to make sure you get enough vitamin D is to take a vitamin supplement. There are two primary biological forms for vitamin D: D2 and D3. D2 typically comes from plants, while meats, eggs, and other food originating from animals contain vitamin D3. Research from the NIH indicates that D3 is more effective at maintaining and raising your overall vitamin D levels.

The amount of vitamin D you need will depend on your current vitamin D levels. In most cases, 1,000 - 4,000 IU is considered a safe daily dosage. Be sure to consult with your healthcare provider and get your levels tested to determine the correct dosage for you.

The Benefits of Vitamins and Minerals Supplements

The Benefits of Vitamins and Minerals Supplements

September 06, 2020

Vitamins and minerals are essential for your body. They provide the nutrition that your body needs to develop and function properly. Supplements can help remedy nutritional deficiencies that cause the body to function improperly.

Extensive research shows that the use of vitamins and minerals can potentially improve health, prevent disease, and provide you with energy to live a happy and healthy life. Vitamins and minerals work together to help provide the appropriate nourishment that your body needs.

Some Important Vitamins and Minerals and Their Benefits

  • Vitamin A: This vitamin can help you maintain healthy vision, keep your skin healthy, protect against wrinkles and acne, as well as help your body fight off infections and other diseases.

  • Vitamin B12: This vitamin provides energy, enhances muscle strength, and can help your nerves function correctly.

  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps with many body functions, including boosting the immune system and healing wounds.

  • Vitamin D: Vitamin D can help keep your bones, teeth, and muscles healthy. It is also vital to help your nerves send messages and help support your immune system in fighting bacteria and viruses.

  • Vitamin E: This vitamin may help prevent heart disease as well as some forms of cancer. It can also boost your immune system and assist in healing injuries and wounds.

  • Vitamin K: Vitamin K can help strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis.

  • Calcium: Calcium helps build and protect bones and helps lower blood pressure, and prevents colon cancer.

  • Chromium: This mineral helps the hormone insulin to operate more efficiently. It has also been found to help with weight loss.

  • Iron: Iron is necessary for making the protein hemoglobin myoglobin that carries oxygen to the body. If you don't have enough iron, you may feel tired and have low energy.

When to Use Vitamins and Minerals

Ideally, your body would get all the vitamins and minerals needed from the foods you eat. However, in today's fast-paced world where convenience food and highly processed foods have become more and more a part of the average person's diet, it has become increasingly more common for vitamin deficiencies to occur.

There are two ways to remedy a deficiency: You can increase your intake of vitamin or mineral-rich foods to supplement your deficit, or you can take a vitamin or mineral supplement. In some cases, a supplement is recommended if you cannot get enough nutrients from the food you eat.
