The Importance Of Vitamin D

We need Vitamin D to help keep our bones strong, but did you know that this vitamin may also help to protect your brain from mental decline?

As we age our bodies have more difficulty in producing vitamin D, of which sunshine is the best source.

Try for a little time in the sun every day, 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient in summer before 11am or after 3pm (when the sun is not so fierce), and a little longer in winter months.

If this isn't possible for you, take a good quality Cod liver oil supplement, also eat salmon, mackerel, and eggs which are all good sources.
