Now that its gettin' hot out here, are you avoiding the outdoors? About 75% of adults are deficient in Vitamin D and avoiding the sun's rays might not help. The minimum number of International Units of Vitamin D recommended by doctors is 400; many doctors recommend as many as 1,000 units daily.
Yes, slather on the SPF 30+ and grab a liter of water and enjoy a 15 minute walk outside but don't forget to eat plenty of Vitamin D rich foods!
1 cup vitamin D fortified cereal = 4- IU (Wheaties, Multi-grain Cheerios...)
1 cup vitamin D fortified milk = 115-124 IU
3.5 ounces fresh salmon = 360 IU
1 whole egg = 25 IU
