HEALTH BITE:



VITAMIN D

Surprisingly, the requirement for vitamin D — 200 IUs or 5 micrograms per day — is the same from birth to age 50. Vitamin D helps the body absorb minerals like calcium and builds strong teeth and bones. It’s called the “sunshine vitamin” because the body can make it when the skin is exposed to sunlight. But vitamin D production is prevented by smog, clouds, dark skin, and sunscreen with an SPF of 8 or more, so it’s a good idea to make sure your child gets 200 IUs of vitamin D every day from food sources.


FOOD SOURCES:
1 ounce salmon serving: 103 IUs
1 ounce tuna (canned in oil, drained): 200 IUs
1/2 cup fortified whole milk: 49 IUs
1 large egg yolk: 25 IUs
1/3 cup fortified, ready-to-eat cereal: 13 IUs
