In nature we can find all the vitamins that our body needs to fulfil its vital functions. However, one of the main recommendations of nutritionists is to consume foods rich in vitamins D on an empty stomach or with the first meal of the day.
It has been proven that this way of eating foods rich in vitamin D in the first hours of the day helps to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine, strengthens our skeletal system and prevents the onset of musculoskeletal body diseases.
▶ For those who are interested in starting a diet rich in vitamin D, it is important to know that among the plants that contain vitamin D are sweet potato, parchita, melon, and pumpkin.

For vegetarians, a vital fact is that they can consume Solanum tuberosum (potato) leaves, as they have been found to be rich in vitamin D.
Let's remember that the vegetable world keeps all the secrets for the well-being of your organism, but just as it offers us advantages when consuming a certain plant in excess, it can also bring us harm.
▶ Among the damages that can be triggered by an excessive intake of foods rich in vitamins D, are the following: accumulation of calcium in the blood, i.e. we can reach levels of hypercalcemia, in addition to havoc associated with intoxication that can lead to nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, body weakness and weight loss.
