Vitamins are vital for our health, but are you getting enough? Dietician Helen Bond reveals the key nutrients we need and why…
1 VITAMIN D
Important, why? The sunshine vit is needed for healthy bones and teeth, as it helps your body absorb calcium. It also supports a healthy immune system and normal muscle function.
Good sources The best is natural sunlight on your skin, but it’s hard to get this all year round. Top up with oily fish, (salmon, fresh tuna, trout, mackerel and sardines), as well as eggs, wild mushrooms and dairy products.
Your RNI 10mcg per day (1 tin of salmon).
