Vitamin D
Fish Oil - A Good Source of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, like Vitamin A. This means that you dont need it everyday as your body will store any unused quantities for use as and when it requires. It is one of the only vits that the body naturally produces via exposure to an adequate amount of sunlight. Around 1 hour of direct sunlight per week is required however suprisingly many people are not out in the sun long enough to reap the benefits. Research shows that as we get older our bodies produce less vitamin D so adults are advised to monitor and regulate their diets to ensure they are getting enough.
