Get Vitamin D this Winter with Seafood at Catonsville Gourmet
In the sunny summer months, your body can usually get the vitamin D it needs for the day with 15 minutes of exposure to the sun. In the winter however, you can’t get vitamin D from the sun, as it’s too low in the horizon and you’re bundled up anyway! Vitamin D plays a role in many important bodily functions, and is thought to play a role in mood regulation, which is why lack of vitamin D in the winter can give you the winter blues. To get the vitamin D you need (400-600 IU per day), it’s smart to include vitamin D-rich foods in your diet. Lots of seafood is rich in Vitamin D. Check out some of the examples below, and visit us at Catonsville Gourmet for some delicious and healthy seafood!
Vitamin D-Rich Seafood
Salmon
Salmon has more than 100 IU of vitamin D per ounce! Just 5 ounces of salmon puts you right where you need to be for the day.
Oysters
Half a dozen oysters on the half shell have 60% of the vitamin D you need.
Halibut
Halibut is bursting with vitamin D. Just 3 ounces has a whopping 254% of your daily need!
Shrimp
6 ounces of shrimp has 64% of what you need per day.
Cod
Though not quite as impressive as some other fish, Cod still has a respectable amount of vitamin D. 6 ounces contains 18% of your daily need.
