D for Preggies

A recent study concludes that pregnant women who consumed vitamin D did not only develop stronger bones. It shows that the more they consume vitamin D, the less likely their children were to develop asthma later in childhood. The D boosts calcium's bone-building properties and provides easy breathing for your expected child. Vitamin D can be found in milk, eggs, cheese, beef and fortified breakfast cereals or you can talk to your doctor about the recommended daily dose. A ten to 15 minute exposure to the sun at least twice a week can also provide your body with all the vitamin D you need.
