Healthy foods (dietary supplements)

The people who have everything rarely have time to think of the recipes that make them shine. Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.

How much vitamin D do I need?
From around the end of March/early April to the end of September, the majority of people should be able to make all the vitamin D they need from the sunlight on their skin. In fall and winter, you need to get vitamin D from your diet because the sun is not strong enough for the body to make vitamin D.

However, because it is difficult for people to get enough vitamin D from diet alone, everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the fall and winter. From the end of March/beginning of April to the end of September, most people can produce the vitamin D they need completely themselves through sunlight on the skin and through a balanced diet.

Vitamin E helps maintain healthy skin and eyes and strengthens the body's natural defense against disease and infection (the immune system).

How much vitamin E do I need?
The required amount of vitamin E is:

4 mg per day for men
3 mg per day for women
You should be able to get all the vitamin E you need from your diet.

Any vitamin E that your body doesn't need immediately is stored for future use, so you don't need it in your diet every day.
