4 SIMPLE Foods to combat vitamin D deficiency and how to fix it


4 SIMPLE Foods to combat vitamin D deficiency:

Some are calling this a massive problem, I am talking about vitamin d deficiencies. You see, every year more and more people are getting less and less sun. We all spend an exorbitant amount of time inside. Between being in an office, a car and our house, we get VERY little amounts of direct sunlight and it is causing large amounts of the population to suffer from vitamin d deficiencies  

Sadly, this is being tied to anxiety and depression and even more, drastic diseases like graves disease, lupus, and irritable bowel syndrome, say Dr. Axe.

Luckily there some food we can consume that do have a good amount of Vitamin D3 in them!

Check out this youtube video that has more great tips on how to get more vitamin D naturally



Food #1 – Mushrooms

mushrooms are the only plant source of vitamin D and this is great if you are a vegetarian as the rest are all non-vegetarian food!

You see, mushrooms produce vitamin D2, & D2 helps raise blood levels of vitamin D.keep in mind it is NOT D3 but none the less wild mushrooms are excellent sources of vitamin D2. 

Food #2 –Salmon
One 3.5-ounce serving of salmon contains between 300 and 600 IU of vitamin D.
On average, wild-caught salmon can have 900 IUs of vitamin D per 1 small serving. Some studies have shown IU levels as high as 1,300 IU per serving which would more than 150% of your recommended daily dosage.

Another source of Vitamin D would also come from farmed salmon but it only has 42% of the daily recommended dose, so it is not quite a potent or good for that matter.

Food #3 Tuna Fish Canned or packaged
Canned Tuna Fish surprisingly packs as much as 200 IUs of Vitamin D within one serving. It is also worth noting that it also contains Vitamin K which is super critical in helping maximize the impact of vitamin D and ultimately stops calcium from building up in the body.

Food # 4 Egg Yolks
Most people know this but most vitamins in eggs are found in the yolk including Vitamin D and vitamin K2. Having K2 is super important to have in calcium placement and as your D3 intake goes up you K2 in take must follow suit

When buying eggs it is important that you look for pasture-raised or free-range chickens. The reason being is because they had access to the sun and ultimately their yoks have a much higher D3 content. It can be as much as 3 times higher than eggs from chickens that were raised inside. 

There you have it…
These 4 foods can help you reach your recommended daily IUs of Vitamin D and avoid some of the potentially harmful side effects that come from vitamin D deficiencies.
