Spring in Kansas City is almost here. By this time of year, everyone is craving sunshine and a chance to spend time outdoors. The sun produces the vitamin D our bodies need to keep our cardiovascular and immune systems going strong. When you get enough vitamin D, you have more energy and your chances of getting sick decrease. While you wait for warmer days and the opportunity to soak up some vitamin D the natural way, try some of these vitamin D-rich foods.

How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?

The average daily recommended amount for adults ages 18-71+ is 600-800 IU (15-20 mcg). Your doctor may recommend different amounts, depending on your specific health needs.
