Head on over to beach! Doctor’s orders! Just make sure to protect yourself from the harmful rays the sun can shine on you with ample amounts of sunscreen and reapplication after you’ve dried off in the water.

Cod liver oil, 1 tablespoon, 1360 IUs
Swordfish, cooked, 3 ounces, 566 IUs
Salmon (sockeye) cooked, 3 ounces, 447 IUs
Tuna, canned in water, drained, 3 ounces, 154 IUs
Orange juice fortified with vitamin D, 1 cup, 137 IUs
Milk, vitamin-fortified, 1 cup, 115-124 IUs

Egg yolk, 1 large, 41 IUs
Cereal, fortified with 10% of the daily value of vitamin D, 1 cup, 40 IUs
