Dubbed the "sunshine vitamin" because sun-exposed skin produces it, vitamin D promotes strong bones and teeth and combats osteoporosis. Get your daily dose with these foods.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Vitamin D-fortified milk or soy milk
Salmon
Tuna
Sardines
Cod liver oil
Beef liver
Cheese
Eggs
Vitamin D-fortified breakfast cereal, orange juice, yogurt, and margarine

Warning: Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

Step 1: Drink fortified milk

Drink vitamin D-fortified milk or soy milk for vegetarians. One cup of it contains 100 international units -- IUs -- of D, or about 25 percent of the recommended daily value.

Tip: It's recommended that breastfed infants receive supplements of 400 IUs of vitamin D per day.

Step 2: Eat oily fish

Eat oily fish, such as salmon, tuna, and sardines, which are naturally high in vitamin D. They also contain beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

Step 3: Take fish liver oil

Take fish liver oil, such as cod liver oil, for a daily dose of D. One tablespoon will give you 340 percent of your daily recommended amount.

Step 4: Add other foods

Add foods such as beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks into your diet, which contain small amounts of D.

Step 5: Look for D-fortified foods

Look for D-fortified foods, which include ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, some orange juice, yogurt, and margarine.

  • @nilbud how so?

  • I'm a vegetarian, and I drink cows' milk. Just saying.

  • that tuna looks overcooked

  • @nilbud Why would I lie? Do your research.

  • @nilbud All i said is that 400 IU are not the actual recommended daily dosage of vitamin D3. I'm having trouble posting links here, so i will send you my links on a personal message. Meanwhile, i am waiting for 3 things:

    1 - Your sources, although by your speech i guess you have none.

    2 - Your educated manners. Mind your language. I don't know about you, but i am an educated grown up.

    3 - Your apologies, since you are continuously personally offending me, including calling me a liar.

  • @brunomiranda1 You fucking fool it's your idiotic notion you prove it you mindless simpering cretin. Nothing cited, nothing quoted, you're a liar. QED

  • @nilbud You have replied like a teenager, with an emotional answer and no arguments whatsoever. It's not by accusing people that you prove or disprove anything or anyone. I asked you for FACTUAL DATA and you have replied with childish offenses. That is NOT education. I will give you some books, articles and conferences, study for yourself. You don't have to disprove ME, you'll have to disprove the scientific community. But do it like a mature grown up. Still waiting for your sources...

  • @brunomiranda1 Actually sonny it's you who are attempting to call the existing facts incorrect where are your sources, where is your argument? You're a liar, you're a fool, and you should humbly apologise and thank me for educating you and stopping you from making a fool of yourself again.

  • @nilbud Incorrect? On a scientific argument, "incorrect" is no theses.

    You have all the right to say i'm incorrect, but then you are obliged to justify your point of view with credible data.

    So, please:

    - Justify your arguments.

    - Quote your sources properly.

    Thank you.

  • @brunomiranda1 Incorrect.
