Our bodies can form vitamin D naturally from the sun, and as we know during the Fall we have shorter days. Less sun, less vitamin D. Vitamin D is good for maintaining healthy bones and teeth by absorbing calcium and phosphorous. Because we receive less sunlight, I am going to list a few meals that can help upkeep your daily vitamin D intake.

• Okay, so I have a secret obsession with Lox. I love a good lox and scallion spread in the morning. Salmon has a great amount of vitamin D. So if you’re not into lox like I am then no worries. Baked Salmon is just as fine. Because we’re talking about fall, I’d pair baked salmon with a nice cup of pumpkin soup! Thank me later!
• Another vitamin d enriched food is tuna fish! I always keep a can or two of tuna in my cabinet. On a lazy day tunafish salad with a boiled egg is my go to. And with egg being mentioned that brings me to my next food;

• Egg yolks also contain vitamin D. You can do so many things with your yolks, from making lemon curds, to pasta, using it to make mayonnaise from scratch, baking and much more!
• Some wild mushrooms are excellent sources of vitamin D2 as well since they also synthesize vitamin D when exposed to light, just like us. I have chopped up mushrooms and made vegan tacos once. Do not sleep on mushrooms! Those tacos were a banger. I also love stuffed mushrooms. A little ground meet, cheese and pasta sauce!!! It’s like pizza on a cloud in your mouth. So basically heaven in your mouth.
• Fortified foods are foods that have vitamin D added to them. You may already be aware of them as they are orange juice and cereal. Some cereals that are fortified are Quaker’s Oats, Kellogg’s Special K and Multi Grain Cheerios. Switch up your normal cereal routine and replace milk with pumpkin creamer! Perfect twist for the fall
