Vitamin D ☀️ Where and Why?
Vitamin D is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin and for good reason. We get at least 90% of our requirements from the sun.
❔I know that getting less than 10% of what you need from food doesn’t sound like a lot to worry about, but Vitamin D deficiency can significantly impact your fertility and health.
❔Vitamin D is important for many things including bone health, immune function, egg health for fertility, and potentially reducing the risk of eczema and allergies in your baby.
Sources of Vitamin D include
☀️ Sunshine
🍄 Sunbathed Mushrooms – put your mushrooms in a sunny spot for at least an hour
