During the cold and wet winters months when sun exposure is very limited, you need to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D through your diet or from a supplement. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is very crucial to our health and wellbeing. It's needed for everything from normal functioning of our immune systems, to regulating the absorption of calcium into our bones. Deficiency in Vitamin D can result in fatigue, general feeling of being unwell and weakness in the muscles.

By increasing your intake of foods from the list below in your diet regularly you will be reducing your chance of becoming deficient in this very important nutrient.

  • Fatty fish (salmon, herring, mackerel) 
  • Fortified foods (cereals, breads, yoghurts, tofu, milk etc)

  •  Canned tuna 
  • Egg yolks
