]]> For years, D — a vitamin found in food but also synthesized by your skin with a bit of sun exposure — has been a nutritionist's delight because of its impact on bone health. Now, evidence is growing that the vitamin not only helps build bone and thwart aging but also defends against multiple sclerosis, several cancers, and inflammation in the gums and lungs. D is definitely moving into bona fide supernutrient territory.

Better Get Yours Milk remains an excellent source of vitamin D, with 100–125 international units (IU) per cupful. Not into milk? Here are a few other sun-free ways to get your fill of D:

* Choose fortified foods. Food manufacturers are catching on: We want more D! Check the labels of everything — from orange juice and bread to yogurt and pudding — to see if they're fortified. Become an expert at reading labels with these tips.

* Eat fish. The richest source of D is salmon (360 IU of vitamin D in 3.5 ounces), but tuna and sardines canned in oil are good sources, too. Check this list of low-mercury fish.

* Have an egg. D is in the yolk, and although 26 IU doesn't sound like much, it all adds up.

* Take a supplement. Just stay below 2000 IU per day from food and supplements combined.
