Fortified Foods

• Pamela Egan, FNP-C, CDE, suggests eating fortified foods such as milk and cereal to make up for vitamin D3 deficiency. By checking labels on fortified milks and cereals, one can select items that will provide sufficient vitamin D3 to help keep deficiency away. By starting the day with a bowl of fortified milk and cereal, your body can get a day's serving of vitamin D3.
  
  

Egg Yolks

• Another great source of vitamin D3 are egg yolks. Making an omelet or scrambling a couple eggs can give you almost a daily serving. Studies conducted by the Agricultural Research Centre of Finland published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry find feeding chickens a feed high in vitamin D produces eggs that are sevenfold higher in vitamin D3 than normal eggs. In the future, one egg might solve the problem of vitamin D3 deficiency.
