How to make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D this winter

You’re likely to hear the term vitamin D thrown around a lot: “I need to top up my vitamin D levels” “Get to the beach to dose up on vitamin D”. Whether you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere, it’s worth keeping your eye on how much or how little of this sunshine vitamin you’re getting. And how for that matter. Because the health benefits go way beyond good bone health and a little feel-good factor.

Among the contributing factors are pollution and high SPFs, both of which create a physical block preventing UVB rays from being absorbed. Research conducted at the National Centre for Biotechnology Information found that sunscreens of up to SPF 30 can prevent UVB rays from being absorbed by up to 97.5 per cent.

The body can create up to 90 per cent of the vitamin D required to function at an optimum rate through the most natural source, sunlight. Sourcing sufficient vitamin D from natural food sources alone can be a little more complicated. Foods that do have a reasonable amount are oily fish , egg yolks, mushrooms and fortified foods including milk, cheese, orange juice and cereals. A good supplement offers an alternative source.

How about go outside with sunscreen and a hat?
