The sun’s rays are not as strong during the winter as they are during the summer which makes it harder to maintain vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is integral for bone health, especially your spine. Here are some ways to maintain vitamin D levels during the winter:

• Consider Supplements: Vitamin D supplements are often recommended to those who live in minimal sunlight areas during the winter. It’s important to consult your doctor to determine your daily dose. 
• Use UV Lamps or Light Therapy: UV lamps are designed for vitamin D production that can be helpful to those who live in areas that receive minimal sunlight. 
• Focus on Vitamin D-Rich Foods: Some foods that are rich in Vitamin D are egg yolks, salmon, tuna, and orange juice.
