Vitamin D can even ward off seasonal affective disorder by keeping our mood elevated. Health Canada recommends adults get a minimum of 800 IU of Vitamin D per day, either through food or a supplement. Here are three tips to getting your recommended amount of Vitamin D.

Soy Milk vs Cow Milk

For some strange reason the idea that soy milk was healthier for us was a concept I bought into. In fact, I even convinced my boyfriend to start buying Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea because I was under the impression it had more protein. Despite the fact that I personally can’t stand the taste of soy he continued to buy it until a friend questioned me on this concept; therefore, I dedicate my first post to him.
