Recipes to Get More Vitamin D

August 27, 2019
Skip gallery slides

Very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and then helps deposit them in bones and teeth to make them strong and healthy. Vitamin D is most often found in fortified foods, like milk, soymilk and fortified cereals. Naturally occurring vitamin D is found in fatty fish, such as mackerel, salmon, and sardines, and in egg yolks. These healthy recipes are a delicious way to get more of this nutrient into your daily diet.
