Fatty fish like salmon and tuna are good options as well as mushrooms, and eggs, according to Beth Czerwony, a registered dietitian with Cleveland Clinic.

You can also talk to a doctor to see if a Vitamin D supplement is necessary.

Czerwony recommends taking a Vitamin D supplement with your heaviest meal because it is a fat-soluble vitamin, she said. Doing this will help your body absorb the supplement and increase your Vitamin D numbers a little bit faster.

Fatigue, bone pain, and muscle weakness are all signs of Vitamin D deficiency.
