Vitamin D can generally be supplemented through sun exposure and consuming fish. Sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D, but ultraviolet rays increase the risk of skin cancer, so proper sun protection is recommended. It's best to get moderate sun exposure each day at appropriate times. In daily diet, fish is an excellent source of vitamin D, particularly tuna, salmon, and eel.
