A new study has found those that have a lactose intolerance suffer from decreased Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is known as the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’ and can help you boost your mood, lose weight, and help fight disease. According to an article on healthline.com:
Few foods contain vitamin D naturally. Because of this, some foods are fortified. This means that vitamin D has been added. Foods that contain vitamin D include:
- salmon
- sardines
- egg yolk
- shrimp
- milk (fortified)
- cereal (fortified)
- yogurt (fortified)
- orange juice (fortified)
It can be hard to get enough vitamin D each day through sun exposure and food alone, so taking vitamin D supplements can help.
And of course, get plenty of sunshine!
