Seafood Paella
If you are short of Vitamin D, a great way to introduce it into your diet is through canned fish.
Oily fish, as well as being a great source of Vitamin D, is also rich in omega-3 which helps to maintain energy levels, build a strong immune system and even boost an individual’s concentration.
