8 ways to get Vitamin D during winter

Here are a few ways to take Vitamin D during chilling winter.

Vitamin D, also known as "the sunshine vitamin," is produced by the skin's cholesterol precursor, which is exposed to UV-B radiation, and its absorption depends on various factors.

Spend time in sunlight

Fatty fish and seafood are abundant natural sources of vitamin D.

Broccoli

Wild or commercially grown mushrooms, both exposed to UV light, produce vitamin D similar to humans.

Eat more mushrooms

Free-range and pastured eggs are a rich source of vitamin D, as chickens exposed to sunlight produce more vitamin D in their eggs than those kept indoors.

Eggs

Cereals

Eggplant is low in calories and contains compounds that may help reduce LDL cholesterol.

Vegan supplement options

 Cheese enhances vitamin D status as effectively as a supplement.
