Is Vitamin D Vegan? A Dietitian Looks at Its Sources

Gaby Vaca-Flores, RDN, CLE, recaps the benefits of vitamin D and uncovers if it exists in vegan form. Plus: how to choose the best vitamin D supplement. Prioritizing vitamin D intake is highly recommended, especially if you follow a strict vegan or vegetarian diet. As you may already know, sunshine is a wonderful natural source of vitamin D that’s safe for omnivores and vegans alike. But what about vitamin D food sources or supplements?

Cooking with Whole Fish

Up your grilling game this summer with this heart-healthy recipe. Seafood cuts the risk for heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, stroke, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Activated charcoal has been used for centuries to speed healing from cuts and insect bites, and as an antidote for poisoning, which is probably one of its better-known uses. The first recorded use was in the 1500s by Egyptians. It was also used by Native Americans. Today, you’ll find activated charcoal in face washes, scrubs, masks, moisturizers, soaps, and shampoos.
