I'm wondering what exactly the difference is between beans, lentils, grains, nuts, and seeds. For example, what's the botanical difference between black beans, green lentils, rice, almonds, and sunflower seeds?
1 Always take your vitamin D supplements with or right after you have eaten a meal. The food in your system will help your body to process this nutrient.  It doesnât seem to matter what meal you take your supplement with. The time of day does not appear to affect your bodyâs ability to absorb vitamin D.
Our body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin when we are outdoors. From about late March/early April to the end of September, most people should be able to get all the vitamin D we need from sunlight. We also get some vitamin D from a small number of foods, including oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and sardines, as well as red meat and eggs.
