Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?

Did you know that Vitamin D is vital for the development of healthy bones, teeth and muscles? The best natural resource of Vitamin D is the sun, however in Ireland during the winter months, we are exposed to very little sunlight, especially people working typical 9 to 5 hours.

Are You Getting Enough Daily Vitamin D


We can also get our Vitamin D from our diet by eating foods rich in dairy such as milk, butter, cheese and yoghurt. Oily fish such as salmon and mackerel are a good source of Vitamin D, as well as egg yolks. Unfortunately, we don’t eat enough of these foods to get the recommended amount of Vitamin D our body needs.


Research

Researchers from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) at Trinity College Dublin have found there is insufficient daily intake of the vitamin across Ireland …
47% of all adults over 85 are deficient in winter
27% of adults over 70 are estimated to be deficient
1 in 8 adults over 50 are deficient all year round
Only 4% of men and 15% of women take a Vitamin D supplement
