Vitamin D-rich foods
Vitamin D-rich foods Since our body doesn't produce this immune system-regulating vitamin on its own, it's essential that we get it from food or the sun. Since the sun isn't the safest bet in the world (since its harmful UV rays can cause burns, wrinkles and skin cancer), it's best to turn to food as a source. Among the best vitamin D-rich foods to add to your diet, Largeman-Roth recommends eggs. "Two eggs contain 160 IU of D," she says. "Keep the yolks in — that's where the vitamin D and other important nutrients, like choline, are found." Additionally, mushrooms and fatty fish are other food sources of vitamin D. "Adults ages 19-50 require 600 IU of vitamin D daily, so getting at least one food source daily, plus supplemental vitamin D is smart," she adds.
