MOSCOW, February 24 Nutritionist Elena Voskresenskaya spoke about products that help replenish vitamin D deficiency in the body. According to her, vitamin D is a very important micronutrient that helps absorb calcium and phosphorus from food and prevents softening of the bone and osteoporosis, as well as the development of cancer. «About 90 percent of vitamin D is produced in the body from ultraviolet rays But in Russia, summer is short and you have to get it from food.Most of all vitamin D is found in fatty fish.Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, sardine, chum salmon, pink salmon, halibut, cod liver, oysters, red and black caviar are excellent sources You can also find vitamin D in forest mushrooms that have been nourished by the sun, but mushrooms from the supermarket, unfortunately, contain almost no vitamin D. Eggs, beef and pork liver, butter, goat's milk, cottage cheese and cheese also excellent sources,” said the source of the agency. Voskresenskaya also noted that vitamin D maintains the health of the nervous and immune systems, regulates insulin levels. “It must be said that a huge number of people are deficient in this vitamin and they need to pay attention to this,” added she.
