Most people don’t get enough vitamin D from just sunlight alone, so it’s important to plenty of vitamin D rich foods in order to ensure that your levels are sufficient. Not many foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, but many are fortified with various amounts.
The best source of vitamin D is in the flesh of fatty fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel as well as in fish liver oil supplements. Beef liver, cheese and egg yolks are also good vitamin D sources. Some mushrooms are enhanced with vitamin D during the growing process and have higher levels of vitamin D.
Most milk, yogurt and margarine all have vitamin D added to them, but other dairy products such as ice cream and butter aren’t typically fortified. Packaged orange juice and breakfast cereals usually have higher than normal levels of this important vitamin.
